Boutique hotel among plans for Middletown pedestrian mall

MIDDLETOWN – Plans are moving forward for development of a pedestrian mall in the center of Middletown’s downtown area.
Among the amenities planned for the small park on King Street will be a boutique hotel, said city Economic Development Director Maria Bruni.
 “There is an underutilized street called King Street, and that street we are closing down and making a walkway plaza so the bids are coming in on Monday and we hope to break ground soon on that project. It will be a walkway with greenery, bike racks, benches, and other amenities,” Bruni said.
Middletown isn’t the only city in the Mid-Hudson developing boutique hotels. Beacon has one under construction now and another in the planning stages.
