MIDDLETOWN — Mayor and Town Council will reconvene Tuesday to further discuss updates to the town’s comprehensive plan.

Last updated in 2012, the plan is due for a 10-year reevaluation.

The first meeting with the University of Delaware’s Institute for Public Administration provided an overview of its recommendations for Middletown, including housing, traffic improvements and economic development.

Over the next 10 years, following those recommendations, the town would pursue more middle-level housing development, such as duplexes and town homes.

In January, Mayor Kenneth Branner Jr. said the market for residences for ages 55-plus is in great demand in Middletown, so supporting programs geared toward older citizens looking to “age in place” would likely be beneficial. Rentals are also in high demand because many don’t want to commit to homeownership, he said, adding that the market is beneficial for sellers right now, as well.

The comprehensive plan update may also reconsider zoning, codes and town ordinances to allow redevelopment of existing properties and additional housing.

Tuesday's meeting is at 7 p.m. at Town Hall. A public information session, when officials will collect feedback from residents, will follow in late March.
