The city finalized its $3 million purchase of the one-acre Attention to Detail vehicle customization property in December to make way for the proposed, block-size Village at Riverside mixed-use development bordered by Court and Main streets and deKoven and Dingwall drives. This and other projects are anticipated to help the city finally reconnect to its riverfront via a walking bridge over Route 9. An outdoor concert venue near the old Jackson Corrugated site is planned as part of Middletown’s long-term Return to the Riverbend project, which aims to redevelop the city’s portion of the Connecticut River. Springside Middletown, a $100 million, 486-unit luxury apartment and townhouse community situated on a 48-acre site at 494 Newfield St., is in the final stages of construction.
