Revitalization Committee |
The Milltown Revitalization
Committee
Needs Your Help!
We are seeking volunteers to help
organize our 11th Annual
Pride In Milltown Day, to be held on
Saturday, October 6, 2008 at Borough
Park.
|
Mission
The Milltown Revitalization Committee promotes community pride by
completing beautification projects funded by grants, organizing the annual
Pride in Milltown Day, and by supporting the efforts of other Borough
groups and citizens working to enhance the community.
Overview
The group has been an official body of the local government 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 so it could address the needs of the whole town.
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 the second Wednesday
of every month at 7pm in Borough Hall. Residents 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.
In addition, the current Committee Chairperson has completed the Downtown
Revitalization Institute. Run by the New Jersey Department of Community
Affairs, this quarterly program offers training on utilizing local
resources, developing the image of a community's business district and
promoting it in economical ways.
2008 Current Activities
2007 PRIDE IN MILLTOWN DAY:
The 10th Annual Pride in Milltown Day was held on Saturday, October 6,
2007:
The day started with Borough Park being filled with community groups,
vendors, crafters, businesses and activities.
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.
Sponsorships from 2006 enabled us to purchase decorative planters,
seasonal flowers and holiday lights, which have been placed along Main
Street.
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.
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.
The VooDudes entertained us with a great concert.
The yummy yummy food court provided a wide variety of delicious food
choices.
We had good media coverage from local newspapers.
We have already begun working with event
participants to plan the 11th Annual Pride In Milltown Day,
which will be held on the first Saturday of October 2008. If you have suggestions
or would like to volunteer on the committee, please contact us at:

The Future

redevelopment of Ford Avenue, retain current Main Street businesses,
attract new businesses, support the Mill Pond project and develop projects
funded by grants that will improve the aesthetic and economic environment
of Milltown.

A history of the line, its current state of its
Right-of-Way, and any current surviving rolling stock.
The Raritan
River Railroad Freight Station in Milltown, NJ is a great reminder of just
how important Milltown was in years gone by. The fact that it still
stands is a testament to its endurance and legacy. Here is the story, as
best I can tell it, of Milltown, the Raritan River Railroad, and how the
Milltown Freight Station united them both in history.
