We also have a community blog, called Upside Downtown, which features various businesses, events and opportunities for members of our community and surrounding areas to take advantage of. If you'd like to be featured or submit an entry, please contact us.
The Middletown DBD is a non-profit special services district created in 2001 following a successful referendum of property owners located within the proposed district boundaries. The members are committed to supporting commerce, culture and community in the Downtown Business District and a Board of Commissioners oversees the operation of the district.
Mission | Downtown will be the heart of Middletown. It will represent the focal point of community activity. The downtown will evolve as a thriving and economically viable area while always remembering and building upon its rich history.
The downtown will be unique in that there will be a distinct mix of retail, service, governmental, residential, social service, entertainment, and cultural activities.
Merchants and restaurateurs will target the downtown market both in terms of products offered and hours of operation. They will emphasize customer service and knowledge of the customer and the products offered.
Government will strive to keep the downtown safe, active, clean, and attractive.
Downtown neighborhoods will be a top priority. Monies and programs will target these neighborhoods to initiate their revitalization while at the time preserving their historic integrity, character, and scale.
The arts and entertainment sectors will thrive. They will represent a truly unique element in the downtown and will attract thousands of spectators and shoppers.
Wesleyan will play an integral role in the downtown. The downtown will become an active and thriving college town.
Our role is to bring the benefits of management to a diverse group of individual property owners, using our resources to be strategic about downtown’s future.
Our guiding words should be commerce, culture, and community. We should always be looking beyond mere maintenance, instead looking for ways to catalyze long-term growth and change in the district.
In other words, our job is to make downtown a more interesting place for visiting, living, and doing business.
