City Annexation Policy Restated by Thompson
City Manager Charles W. Thompson restated Middletown policy on annexations with a focus on North Middletown. He dismissed four misunderstandings about annexation and said residents initiate improvements, the city would welcome contiguous areas, sewer charges would be adjusted, and taxes would start after 1957 while services begin immediately. He argued annexation benefits both outlying residents and the city through unified planning and cheaper, larger scale services.
