Accomplishments
Improving Our Infrastructure
We've made significant progress in upgrading our town’s infrastructure. This includes the installation of over a half-mile of new storm piping and the addition/upgrade of 45 drainage structures to improve stormwater drainage. We have also approved more than 10 miles of roadway repaving and are using AI-powered data to inform future investments for better roads.
Maintaining Fiscal Responsibility
We've delivered a fiscally responsible municipal budget by reducing operating expenses by $2.6 million without impacting services. We also secured $2 million in state funding to support projects, replenish reserves, and return Bloomfield to a healthy financial state.
Enhancing Public Safety
We're keeping our neighborhoods secure and improving pedestrian and traffic safety. We've also given more focused attention to the cleanliness, beautification, and safety of our municipal parks.
Fostering Transparency & Community Engagement
We believe that a strong community is built on open communication and active participation.
Increasing Accountability
We relaunched the "Clean & Strong Bloomfield" citizen complaint system. This upgraded portal makes it easier for residents to report and track issues, allowing the township to use data to proactively address quality-of-life concerns.
Revamping Community Involvement
We revamped the recruitment and appointment process for boards and committees. In 2025 alone, we appointed 90 community members to these vital roles, giving more residents a voice in local governance.
Streamlining Communications
Based on resident feedback, we streamlined township communications and created a strategic plan to ensure that important information is better disseminated to the community.
Delivering Sustainable & Smart Development
We are committed to a balanced approach that promotes growth while preserving our community's character.
A Forward-Thinking Master Plan
We delivered a new Master Plan that will guide sustainable, community-driven growth. It focuses on revitalizing commercial areas, creating walkable neighborhoods, expanding recreational opportunities, and protecting our historic character.
Investing in Sustainability
We've passed multiple resolutions promoting environmentally responsible practices, embarked on the installation of Bloomfield's first microforest, are actively exploring ways to utilize alternative energy sources, and are working toward a Silver Sustainable Jersey certification.
Smart Development Projects
We are putting a new affordable housing development plan in place.
Modernizing Our Public Spaces & Services
We're working to make Bloomfield's public spaces and services more modern, accessible, and user-friendly for everyone.
Renovating Our Library
We financed the renovation of our beloved Children's Library without issuing new debt and completed repairs and a refresh of the Adult Library.
Upgrading Public Lots
We renovated the Pitt Street Parking Lot, providing safer parking for residents while also including environmentally friendly enhancements like solar pay stations and a rain garden to improve drainage.
Enhancing Senior Programming
Launched in 2024, our program for senior citizens now reaches more than 200 seniors on a weekly basis, providing enhanced programming and access.
Building Bridges with Regional Partners
We understand that working with our county, state, and federal partners is essential to moving Bloomfield forward.
Securing Support for Infrastructure
We are working with Essex County on intersection improvements and enhancements to Watsessing Park.
Tackling Flooding
We've joined the inaugural regional flood committee with other municipalities in LD34 and are working with Congresswoman Sherrill and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build infrastructure that will mitigate flood water.
Honoring Our Heroes
We launched our Hometown Heroes banner project to honor those who have served our country.
