Message from Mayor Madden: Calling Our Borough Your Home
Making Middlesex Borough Our Home
Great strides are being made toward residents and businesses to help them consider calling our town Home. I am pleased to report that our seasoned local realtors are indicating a strong trend that our town is the focus to either settle or relocate to 08846. We have struggled to maintain services, keep our discretionary expenses lean, and provide an extensive range of Covid-busting amenities. From recreation to sports, education, general public activities and leisure, we are slowly turning the tide to put our shingle out there that we want you here from cradle to grave.
Yes, we are still tackling several large issues (flood mitigation, Borough park enhancements, and upgrading /expanding our much-needed Borough offices), but with continuing smart planning and prudent fiscal resource allocation and management, our goals have been set to attract those who wish to settle here to make our town a true destination community.
In support of this, we are maintaining our municipal property taxes flat while reducing our certified tax rate. Again, many thanks go to the employees, professionals, and administration at 1200 Mountain Avenue.
Our Robust Business Climate
