As Fall approaches and leaf season begins, I would remind all residents to refer to the Garbage and Leaf Schedule in the Town Calendar.  Please note the pick-up schedule will vary, so therefore, you should check the schedule posted in the calendar.        

Redevelopment projects are moving forward and the Luxury Apartment Complex located on the corner of Colfax and Lakeside Avenues are targeted to be completed by December.  If you are interested in renting an apartment or additional information contact Pat at 973-888-3352.  

I would encourage residents and those who visit our community to shop local and experience the many businesses, restaurants/eateries, specialty shops and professional services our town has to offer.  Enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants/eateries, take in show at the theater, enjoy some time at one of the local salons and spa, children can experience various activities or shop throughout our great Town.  When we shop in Town everyone wins as this helps the local merchants prosper and in turn we have a thriving and viable shopping community.    A benefit to our business district is our local Chamber of Commerce that is actively involved in supporting the community by promoting businesses and services to ensure their growth and prosperity. 

Some upcoming events include Fire Prevention Week Open House occurs on October 7, 2019 at 6:00 pm at the Fire House; Chamber of Commerce Car Show held on October 13th; Halloween Hunt held on October 20th at 7:00pm at Hershfield Park.  I would encourage residents to attend and support these events. 

In closing, I would like to wish all residents an enjoyable and safe Fall Season.
