Sources say that Tom Hartley, Middletown's first Parking Director will announce his resignation today. Hartley brought significant innovation to Middletown's well-known parking problems. He also increased parking revenues significantly. Hartley met strong resistance from town planning boards to building a parking garage on Melilli Plaza instead of at its originally-planned site on Dingwall Drive.
Hartley has accepted the job of Director at the Bethlehem (PA) Parking Authority, according to Lehigh Valley Live.
The parking rates on Main Street are too high. We were ready for an increase but Middletown is not West Hartford Center. I hope some adjustment is going to be made now that he is moving on again.
ReplyDeleteIt will be interesting to see who replaces him.
ReplyDeleteDon't replace him. I'm sure he had an inflated salary like most City employees. Hmmmm, Parking Director? What's that $150,000 per year.
