A Message from the Mayor
The City of Middletown welcomes you to our downtown and Business Improvement District (BID). In existence since 1991, the BID has worked to make our downtown a destination to Live, Work, and Play. From delicious restaurants to unique shops, our downtown has so much to offer.
In 2016, The City was awarded $10 million in grant funds through Governor Cuomo’s Downtown Revitalization Initiative, a competition design to help municipalities bring life back into their downtowns. Since then, Downtown Middletown has been undergoing a major facelift. The DRI projects are currently in the works. Come see the progress for yourself! Whether you live here or you’re just visiting, all are welcome to Downtown Middletown!
Joseph DeStefano – Mayor of Middletown, NY
