This morning, it was announced that the 2023 @American_Girl Doll of the Year, Kavi Sharma, is from . . . Metuchen!

Getting ready to welcome Bowery Art Collective to Metuchen with a Ribbon Cutting today at 1pm! Please join us to help welcome them at 327 Main Street. Also today from 6:30pm to 8:30pm will be their inaugural show "Hope." It is free and open to the public.
Hope you can join us for the Gulton Project Open House scheduled for Thursday, March 24 from 7pm to 10pm at Metuchen High School. With this open house format, the event is designed for people to come and go as they please.
The announcement of a new redevelopment plan for the Gulton site is the culmination of decades of our attempts to revitalize the property. We look forward to discussing the benefits of @MetuchenNJ’s first-ever PILOT project as we move forward. Learn more @ https://t.co/lhAof7jmnA
We are deeply appreciative of the close relationship that we continue to have with our State officials, who have worked to get us millions of dollars in grant monies for a number of important Borough projects over just the last few years.
With the help of @GovMurphy & our State Legislators, we've received a $575K grant to make major pedestrian & accessibility improvements on New between Main & Pearl (ex:new sidewalks, improved curbing, flashing stop signs & flashing pedestrian signals.

So happy to see the community turn out to celebrate Lunar New Year in @MetuchenNJ I look forward to learning even more about Asian culture this year and onward. Thanks @MetuchenNow and all others involved in planning/participating.
Last night, we promoted Sgt. Bo Keane, accepted the retirement of long time Sgt. Jim Burns & welcomed new officer Aurel Louis. We appreciate the service of Sgt. Burns & we’re excited for our Dept’s future with the likes of Sgt. Keane and Officer Louis.
