Renovation & Plans
After two years of planning, in February 2018, stakeholders and residents came together to define a vision for Middlebury, a statement that outlines the neighborhood’s hopes for its future. In June of 2018, we commissioned an urban design firm and a local planner to help create a blueprint for the community to rally around as we invest in our community.
