Open Space on Nov 6 Ballot

Help Preserve Middletown’s

Farms and Open Space

On the Nov. 6 ballot, there will be a question asking voters if the city should borrow up to $2 million for acquisition and preservation of farmland and open spaces. This could preserve hundreds of acres.

These City funds may be matched by up to $4 million in State or Federal funding.

Vote ‘YES’ on Question # 2 November 6

- To help preserve the scenic and rural character of our city.

- To help protect wildlife habitat and the health of Middletown’s environment.

- To help save the city money. Residential development actually costs much more in city services than it generates in taxes.

- To help preserve working farms and local agricultural products and jobs. Over 4,000 acres of Middletown farmland have been lost in the past.

- To help provide outdoor recreational opportunities for Middletown residents.
