Middletown Eyes Federal Funds for Sewage Plant Expansion
City officials pursue federal support to fund a multiyear sewage treatment plant expansion to curb river pollution. Havens and Emerson have prepared design work since 1966 with costs estimated from $7 million to $72 million, and chlorination equipment costing about $400,000 may receive up to $100,000 in aid. Local debate over downtown improvements and growth controls continues among commissioners.
