In early 2000, TCA assisted the Middletown Township to update its Comprehensive Plan and establish a legal and policy framework for managing future growth and preserving its green space. Based on the principles of Smart Growth, the Future Land Use Plan addressed elements such as greenways, mixed-use development, historic neighborhoods, transfer of development rights (TDR), neighborhood-scale commercial, industrial uses, and a new town center. The Plan was adopted in 2001 and has assisted the Township to meet the challenges of balancing development with quality of life for all of its residents.
