Community Development

Middleton is a vibrant hub of commerce, recreation, dining, and natural beauty. Offering the amenities of a larger city while retaining its small-town charm, Middleton lives up to its nickname, “The Good Neighbor City.”

Featured in the September 2020 edition of Business View North America, Middleton’s growth and appeal are highlighted in a feature available on their website or in the digital magazine.

Community Development & Responsibilities

Our staff focuses on projects that enhance downtown Middleton, promote environmental sustainability, preserve historic landmarks, support workforce housing, and foster public art and city beautification.
