MAYOR ALTOMONTE MESSAGE

Looking back at 2022, it was a planning year for Matawan. Plans for redevelopment, restoration, and community events have been our main focus this past year. This planning will result in many things in store for Matawan in 2023. One exciting and anticipated project is the raising of Aberdeen Road. The County Engineer was here in 2022 and spoke during one of our sessions. While in the meeting, they detailed the reconstruction and raising of the Aberdeen Road project. The County will bid on the project next week, which takes about one month. After the bid closes, the contract will be awarded. The forecast is to have a shovel in the ground by approximately July 2023. There will be a notice to the community when the approximate date starts. Please look for signs that will be posted, and we will keep you updated. As we head into 2023, I look forward to a productive year with the Council.

The 300-yr anniversary of the Burrowes Mansion will be celebrated June 2nd-4th. My administration is incredibly proud of the restoration of this Revolutionary War landmark that is a huge part of our history. It will be an event filled weekend so save the date now as more information will be coming soon. My administration remains committed to redevelopment, bringing new businesses to town, improving our parks, paving our roads, and providing our departments and first responders with the equipment and tools they need to perform their jobs properly, enhancing our events and recreation programs for our residents and continuing to make Matawan a desired community for people to live. It’s an honor to be your Mayor, and I thank you for the opportunity to serve the residents of Matawan.
