Revitalization Committee

Nearly 60 Milltown businesses and community groups helped sponsor this event, with 27 organizations taking lead sponsorship positions.

We were able to maintain the high level of sponsorships from last year, which will enable us to keep this event self-sufficient and help us to sponsor more community beautification projects.

Over 30 community groups hosted fun and informative display tables offering giveaways and contests as part of the Community Pride Fair.  Many were able to raise funds for their causes.

Two dozen local businesses and arts & crafts vendors also went all-out for this year’s Business Expo by hosting display tables with giveaways and attractions.

The money gained through sponsorships will help to fund future projects including our most exciting project to date- a Victorian street clock to be erected in the center of Milltown.

Once again, scores of children were processed by the Milltown Mason’s Child ID program.

We offered many attractions for everyone’s entertainment including stage performances, sports competitions, the pet show, and the classic car show.

Last but not least, Milltown's Got Talent! provided fabulous entertainment for all.

The delicious food court provided a wide variety of delicious food choices.

We enjoyed good media coverage from local newspapers like the Sentinel and The Home News and Tribune.

The group has existed since January 1988 when it was accepted by the Milltown Borough Council during its annual organizational meeting. Originally called the Main Street Revitalization Committee, the group soon renamed itself the Milltown Revitalization Committee.

The Committee has 10 appointed members including local business owners and private citizens who recognize that even the best community needs constant attention to remain prosperous. It also has volunteer members who assist with special projects and events. The Committee meets on the second Wednesday of every month at 7 P.M. in Borough Hall. Volunteers and visitors are always welcome.
 

Town Center Designation

Revitalizing our Main Street remains a focus of the Committee, which has petitioned the State of New Jersey for "Town Center Designation". The designation, if granted by the State Planning Commission, would give Milltown priority status when applying for various county, state and federal grants for downtown improvements.
