Mayor's Monthly Message - June 2022
Welcome to our June monthly message. June is the official start of summer. We would like to congratulate our Graduates this month. We are proud of our students who are moving on to college or middle school. This is a big accomplishment.
Our mission to get you information about our great community. Please look for our event calendar and flyers. Flyers are available in the Municipal Building lobby and on our website.
We are known throughout South Jersey as a leader in bringing community events to our residents. Economic development is always a priority here in Deptford. Our local business community is providing good jobs and they help tremendously with our tax base. We are working every day to plan for new business openings and to attract a variety of uses to Deptford. Construction has started on several major projects. The new Inspira Medical Center will be opening in the old Dick’s Sporting Goods store across from the Mall. Jo-Ann fabrics is moving in to the Old Babies R Us store and Urgent Care is opening on Delsea Drive this month.
Public safety is always at the forefront of our weekly discussions. Our public safety director and committee, working with our local police are here to ensure safe neighborhoods, traffic safety and we are working with our school district.
We are working on capital projects such as new restrooms at the lower level of Deptford Center Park near the Pickleball courts. Open space purchases are being looked at. New equipment purchases are arriving to keep improving municipal services. We are planning improvements to our infrastructure such as new water mains, replacing old sewer lines and storm water management projects. As you can see in this brief overview, we are busy every single day constantly improving and keeping our community clean and safe.
We hope to see you soon at one of our events. We will also continue our program of walking neighborhoods to meet you and talk about our great community.
Remember Flag Day is June 14th, commemorating the adoption of the United States flag in 1777. Have a safe and Happy Summer!
