MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Middletown Area Town Hall is expected this week to get another update on a plan to build a Dollar General store in the town and discuss a proposal to place decorative gateway arches.

MATH will meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 14, at the Middletown Community Center, 21256 Washington St.

Meetings are open to the community.

One of the agenda's main items is an update on the Dollar General store proposal.

Texas-based Cross Development wants to build the 9,100-square-foot store at 20900 Highway 29 in Middletown.

The Lake County Planning Commission turned down the proposal in April, but Cross Development is appealing the decision, and is scheduled to appear before the Board of Supervisors at 10 a.m. Tuesday, July 19.

In other business, the group will discuss a proposal to place town gateway arches over Highway 29.

There also will be recognition of donations for Middletown Square Park, which is located in front of the community and senior center.

Thursday's meeting also will offer the opportunity for public input from community members and a discussion of agenda items for the Aug. 11 meeting.
                 
The MATH Board includes Chair Fletcher Thornton, Vice Chair Claude Brown, Secretary Margaret Greenley, and members Linda Diehl-Darms and Gregg Van Oss.

MATH – established by resolution of the Lake County Board of Supervisors on Dec. 12, 2006 – is a municipal advisory council serving the residents of Anderson Springs, Cobb, Coyote Valley (including Hidden Valley Lake), Long Valley and Middletown.

Meetings are subject to videotaping.
