hat do you get when you combine rich history, a strong sense of community, and arts and culture? Madison, NJ. The Downtown Development Commission (DDC) has committed the last 30 years to branding and promoting downtown Madison so that everyone who lives, works or visits here has an enjoyable and memorable experience.

vendors. All proceeds raised by these events are used to enhance Madison’s public spaces, parks, lots and the historic district.

The DDC thrives on partnerships with almost every organization in Madison.

In what is perhaps the strongest and most productive partnership, the DDC collaborates with the Madison Area Chamber of Commerce on programing and events. One of the most creative collaborations has been with the Madison Arts & Cultural Alliance. In addition, the DDC collaborates with other organizations including Museum of Early Trades & Crafts, Madison Music & Arts, Madison Volunteer Ambulance Corps and Drew University.

The DDC consists of 19 mayorappointed volunteer commissioners representing a balanced cross section of public officials, business owners, property owners, residents and representatives from the local colleges, news media, merchants, nonprofits, senior centers and corporations. Commissioners include the Madison Mayor, the editor of the Madison Eagle, the president of the Madison Board of Education, a staff representative Drew University and prominent members of the community.

In an effort to bring people and attention to downtown Madison, the DDC coordinates several events and fund-raisers that either take place in the center of town, or raise funds that benefit downtown. In March, we host the Taste of Madison, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and The Rotary Club. The DDC runs the Madison Farmers Market, located off Main Street

The DDC also has a role in the area of economic development through various promotional campaigns and social media outlets and the Madison Magazine produced bi-annually with Town Square Publications. In 2016-17, the DDC collaborated with the Madison Borough Council on new Downtown Revitalization Study conducted by the consulting group Urbanomics.

MADISON HISTORY Vis ion and Gener o s i t y

T

he Presbyterian Church from 1747 anchored the community, and the earliest settlers were typically Presbyterians of Anglo-American stock who migrated into the area from Long Island, Elizabethtown and Newark, seeking land, commercial opportunities and political autonomy. By the early 19th century, Bottle Hill had a Catholic church as well, founded

by French-speaking immigrants, and an academy, or private school, to promote the education of the area’s young men.

The school was called the Madison Academy, after James Madison, the fourth president of the United States and a man of considerable learning and erudition. Locals began to chafe at the intemperate and rustic-sounding name “Bottle Hill” and a movement to rename the community “Madison” for both the former president and the academy was successful by 1834.

Almost as momentous as the change of name to something more genteel was the construction of the Morris and Essex Railroad, and the opening of a railroad station in Madison in 1837. Railroads were the new technology of the day, and the notion of a “commuter” – someone who lived in the country but made their living by daily work in the commercial centers of the city – was a brand new one. With the arrival of the railroad, Madison changed from being a village outside the county seat of Morristown to a vibrant commuter suburb of Newark and New York.

Madison’s natural beauty, with low rolling hills combined with access to a railroad link to the metropolis, brought an evolution to a residentially oriented, suburbanstyle development from the mid-19th century onward. Commercial development

the time of Madison’s incorporation as a Borough in 1889, the community became known informally as “The Rose City” for the millions of cut roses sent by train to New York throughout the year. The nickname remains in use, and can be seen in the town’s logo, and in street names like “Rose Avenue” and “Greenhouse Lane” but the last commercial greenhouses closed in the 1970s as airfreight made flowers from warmer climates more economical than those grown locally.

concentrated near the railroad station, defining a core downtown, and large-scale industry never took hold here as it did in many other New Jersey communities. The tight concentration of surviving buildings from the 19th century reflects the fact of the pedestrianorientation of the town, with neighborhoods established within easy walking distance to the town center and the railroad station. Spread out from the core were the great estates that characterized the Madison-Morristown area at the turn of the 20th century. These were often one residence of many owned by titans of industry who were focused on business in New York City, and spent weekends or a season in a “country house” in Morris County.

The presence of Millionaire’s Row, as Madison Avenue between Madison and Morristown was called in the latter 19th century required not only wealthy owners but legions of staff to run the houses. Immigrants, particularly from Italy, were attracted to Madison for the opportunities to ply traditional skills in landscape gardening and masonry at the estates. They clustered in Madison and in other nearby towns, adding a vibrant new cultural overlay to the town.

Gardening was of course a way of life for many people, but the estates introduced the idea of greenhouses and hothouses as a way to extend the growing season, and of flowers as a culture and a cash crop. Madison became a center for greenhouse cultivation of flowers for the New York florist’s trade. Roses were particularly valued. By

The wealthy and prominent were not disinterested in the activities of the little town of Madison, and in many ways they promoted ideals of the Progressive Movement through direct political influence or philanthropic gifts. The downtown of Madison in particular reflects a strong tradition of local philanthropy.

This generosity, reflected in the donation of land in 1877, allowed for the expansion of Waverly Place to the wide, gracious street it is today.

Also of note, the gift of the architecturally beautiful Webb Chapel, helped re-locate the Presbyterian congregation to the center of the downtown in 1887 and the gift of a free public library and park by D. Willis James in 1900. Perhaps the most significant of gifts, the Hartley Dodge Memorial (Town Hall) by Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge in 1935.

Suburban development in the 20th century paralleled the increasing use of the automobile.

Land previously farmed or used for greenhouse production of roses became increasingly valuable as the setting for middle and uppermiddle-class single-family houses. Many of the 19th century estates were subdivided into housing tracts in this era. The presence of an estate wall or specimen trees or a street name is the only reminder of the former use of the property.

As a mature, built-out community, Madison needs to balance preservation of the past with the necessary development for the future. Almost any new construction will involve demolishing existing structures and sites. Private homeowners have largely been respectful of the architectural traditions of the building stock in town, and there are many well-preserved structures reflecting 18th, 19th, and 20th century styles.

The Historic Preservation Commission, along with the Downtown Development Commission, the Sign and Façade Committee and other groups within town, have worked together to help preserve the character, use and appearance of the vibrant downtown that gives Madison a unique identity in the region.

MADISON GOVERNMENT

M

R eady to s erv e yo u

adison was incorporated on Dec. 27, 1889, under the Borough form of government. A mayor serves a four-year term and six council members are elected at large to three-year terms. The terms are staggered so that two council members are elected each year. Both the mayor and council members are part-time positions that serve without compensation. A full-time administrator is appointed to handle the day-to-day management of the government.

The municipal government’s mission is to build a friendly, attractive, safe and well-maintained community where businesses prosper, public services and educational opportunities excel, history is preserved and citizens live in good health and harmony. There are 10 departments and three independent agencies that work to accomplish this mission. The departments include Administration, Finance, Police, Fire, Public Works, Land Use Services, Electric Utility, Municipal Court, Senior Services and Recreation. Local independent agencies include the Madison Public Library, the Board of Health and the Madison Housing Authority.

The Department of Administration includes the administrator’s office, municipal clerk, purchasing, personnel and public information. This department coordinates the overall activities of government and helps the other departments do their job more effectively. The director of business development is also a part of administration and acts as a liaison to the Downtown Development Commission (DDC) and to Madison businesses.

From May through October, the Downtown Development Commission organizes a Farmers’ Market held Thursdays from 2 to 7 p.m. The DDC also organizes the annual volunteer May Day cleanup of downtown areas and the Bottle Hill Day celebration in October, as well as a plethora of additional programs.

The Housing Authority builds, rehabilitates, maintains and operates safe, clean, aesthetically pleasing housing for low-income residents. There is an 80-unit housing complex for senior citizens on Chateau Thierry Avenue and 53 well-maintained, scattered-site, low-income units throughout town.

For more information, visit www.rosenet.org or follow the Borough of Madison on social media:

Facebook: The Borough of Madison New Jersey Twitter: @MadisonNJ_ gov

The police department has 28 sworn officers and is responsible for the safety and protection of citizens. The department is composed of a Patrol Division, Investigation Division, Drug Education Unit and Traffic Safety Unit. The fire department has 14 highly trained, paid firefighters and 20 well-trained volunteers. The combination departments provides Madison with a quick and effective response time.

Public Works maintains the roads, parks, buildings, sewer, storm water and drinking water systems of the Borough, including water quality problems. Land Use Services includes historic preservation, engineering, planning, zoning and construction code enforcement.

The Borough is one of only nine municipalities in the state that owns its own electric utility. Electric power purchased wholesale then sold to residents at rates lower than surrounding utilities. Madison electric service also has fewer outages and faster restoration of power when an outage occurs than surrounding utilities. Based on a recent national survey, Madison scored in the top 10 percent most reliable utilities in the country.

The Senior Center and Recreation Departments provides and support social and recreational activities for residents of all ages throughout the year.

The Board of Health, housed at 28 Walnut St., protects our community from environmental hazards, housing and food establishment concerns, property maintenance issues, and animal control. The Board of Health also provides these inspection services on a contract basis to other communities.

The Madison Public Library enriches the Madison community by providing access to ideas, information, learning and connections, to link Madison’s past, present and future.

Explore early New Jersey history and discover connections to the people who lived and worked here hundreds of years ago. METC offers visitors of all ages fascinating exhibits, educational programming, lectures, field trips, special events and so much more.

hen it comes to arts and culture, whether it be performing or visual, Madison may well be the biggest little town in New Jersey.

Madison is home to two of New Jersey’s five professional live theater companies designated by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts as “Major Arts Institutions.” The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey, which offers its main stage productions at the Kirby Theatre on the campus of Drew University, is one of the leading Shakespeare theaters in the nation. Writers Theatre has been devoted to the development and presentation of new American plays for 25 years.

In 2003, a sparkling 431-seat, state-of-theart concert hall opened on the campus of Drew University, presenting music events that draw on the talents within the university community and bring renowned professional musicians from around the world to Madison.

The Concert Hall at Drew University is the only facility in New Jersey architecturally and acoustically designed as a single-use forum for the performance of live music.

For jazz, there is no better place on either side of the Hudson River than Shanghai Jazz, named by Downbeat magazine as one of the top 100 jazz clubs in the world. With a regular lineup of world-class jazz artists, fans enjoy the music while dining on outstanding Asian cuisine.

Madison is also home to Harmonium Choral Society, a 100-voice auditioned community choir, which performs a diverse repertoire of musical offerings throughout the year.

In addition to presenting their own music programs, they often host world-renowned artists including the American Boychoir and the Harlem Gospel Choir.

The Museum of Early Trades & Crafts is a New Jersey history museum housed in a

landmark historic building in downtown Madison. With education as the heart of its mission, the museum tells the stories of the people of early New Jersey, exploring their lives and technology. Drawing from a permanent collection of over 9,000 artifacts, the museum presents educational and historical programs to thousands of visitors each year. With its central location in the downtown business district, the museum is also the Madison Visitor Center and is open to the public six days a week.

Madison is also a haven for visual arts. The Korn Gallery in the Dorothy Young Center for the Arts on the campus of Drew University presents exhibitions on a regular basis. Our vibrant town is also home to many local artists and art classes are offered at Creative Hands, and Art in Progress, two studios primarily devoted to the education of young (and

sometimes not so young) artists. Madison Mud is a fine art pottery studio providing classes on the pottery wheel or in hand building. Private workshops and classes offered.

Connecting the arts and culture to the community is the primary focus of The Madison Arts & Culture Alliance, a coalition of arts organizations, cultural institutions, neighbors, colleagues and friends dedicated to encouraging collaborations among the wideranging cultural offerings in “the Rose City.”

This nonprofit group coordinates local events such as the Holiday Arts Festival, music for Bottle Hill Day, the Madison Sidewalk Gallery.

Through continued collaboration, the cultural alliance is dedicated to integrating the arts into daily life and are advocates for arts education in the schools, colleges and universities.

EDUCATION

A Fo undat ion of Exc el l enc e

M

adison Public Schools is a progressive educational institution with a rich tradition of academic, co-curricular and athletic excellence. They take pride in their thoughtful and reflective student population, an innovative and collaborative staff and an engaged parent population and school community. This unique combination creates a school environment in which students can become the best version of themselves through the unwavering supportive of those around them.

The foundation of the Madison Public Schools is their three elementary schools, which serve students from preschool through fifth grade.

Learning at this level is designed to support a wide variety of backgrounds and learning styles through inquiry and collaborative conversations. STEAM classes and enrichment programs allow students to design, create and explore areas of their own interest and character education is highlighted to ensure that students understand the power of kindness and community.

During their time at Madison Junior School and Madison High School, district students have the opportunity to take dozens of exciting courses at a range of academic levels. A robust mix of strong core academic programs and award winning arts and elective programs

allows students to sample a varied range of classes. State-of-the-art STEM facilities at both schools ensure that all students can interact with the design process, robotics, 3-D printing, and a variety of technologies as they move into higher-level content. Throughout the year, students represent Madison Public Schools in community, state and national forums in areas as diverse as musical theater, art exhibits, technology tournaments, athletics championships and academic team competitions. Madison High School also includes students from the neighboring Harding Township through a send/receive relationship after eighth grade.

With these amazing opportunities and the continual supports they receive, Madison students gain acceptance into many of the best colleges and universities around the globe and their success helps place Madison Public Schools as a top educational institution in the state.

Beyond the public schools, the Borough of Madison also contains a number of private nursery schools, Montessori preschools and kindergartens, and a parochial elementary school, St. Vincent Martyr School. Three public colleges, Drew University, Fairleigh Dickinson University, and the College of St. Elizabeth also operate within the borough. Additional educational offerings are available through the Adult School of Madison, Chatham and Florham Park and through the Madison Public Library, which offers a wide range of programming for students of all ages.

CAMPUS LIFE

Thr ee Sc ho ols, One C ommon Goal

M

adison uniquely blessed, has three outstanding universities all with a common goal: Student success.

In order for students to achieve greatness, Drew University, College of Saint Elizabeth and Fairleigh Dickinson University pride themselves in their students’ eagerness for volunteerism. Students who attend these colleges have a passion for learning and a deep value of service. Personal growth and academic achievement are undeniable benefits of attending any of these prestigious institutions.

All three universities provide their students with many opportunities to volunteer locally, nationally and abroad. Fairleigh Dickinson encourages students to get involved around town and even out of state. Their Community

“

Service Resource Center fosters leadership and community engagement through service learning. At Drew University, the Center for Civic Engagement sponsors the Civic Scholar Program. This select group of students must complete an internship, create their own service project, and most importantly, find the importance in every project they complete.

College of Saint Elizabeth empowers students to develop into civic-minded adults through participation in programs such as Culture & Community Weekends, Food Bank of New Jersey, Morristown Neighborhood House, and Spring Break service trips to New Orleans, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. Just as Madison encourages the students

from these three universities to become a part of the local community, all three graciously welcome residents to attend athletic, lecture and arts events on their campuses. The benefits of having access to higher education expands Madison’s borders culturally, civically and, of course, educationally.

adison’s major businesses include Merck Animal Health, Allergan, Pfizer Consumer Health Care, Prudential and Realogy. Other major employers include Drew University and the Madison Area YMCA. All major corporate residents, except Realogy, are located in the Giralda Farms Corporate Campus, a 310-acre property located near Madison’s western edge. Giralda Farms, part of the estate of the late Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge, offers its corporate residents a serene, picturesque

landscape with easy access to local amenities and international travel.

Mack-Cali Realty Corporation, one of the country’s leading real estate investment trusts, purchased three of the existing buildings (Giralda, 1, 3 and 7) in 2017. The Giralda Farms corporate campus is located within the larger Route 24-Corridorsub-market, which extends from Short Hills to Madison and included Chatham and Florham Park. This market, is widely considered one of the most desirable in New Jersey, known for the highest quality real estate.

In May 2018, Atlantic Health System and Kindred Healthcare broke ground on a new Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute at the Giralda Farms corporate park on Madison Avenue. The new facility will offer New Jersey best-in-class inpatient rehabilitation in a modern, state-of-the-art setting in Madison.

In addition to Mack-Cali, Lincoln Equities, PGIM Real Estate and Realogy all either own property and/or have corporate offices in Madison.

The Chief Executive Council for Madison was created in 2012 as an association of Madison’s local business, government and education

We’re the “actually-in-your-neighborhood” neighborhood bank. That means your community is ours, too. And when we get a chance to help make our community stronger, we don’t think twice. It’s just one more way you know we’re committed to you. w w w. P r o v i d e n t . B a n k

leaders. Created to promote collaboration, corporate assistance and educational leadership, the Council is a program unique to Madison.

The mission is to connect local corporate chief executives living in or leading businesses in Madison for:

� Civic engagement: Networking and exploring ways to help each other and our community. � Corporate impact: Collaborating to achieve collective community impact. � Education leadership: Fostering the next generation of Madison leaders.

Throughout the year, the Council hosts a variety of programs aimed at fulfilling its mission. In the first semester, a Speed Networking event is held on the Drew Campus. This concept created by Professor Jennifer Kohn, director of Drew University’s Business Program, introduces executives to students in a fast-paced environment. Students are given eight to 10 minutes with each executive to give their “elevator pitch” and ask about the interview process or other career advice. After their time is up, a bell rings and the students move on to the next executive.

In the second semester, a networking event called “Skills and Success: An Evening Conversation” is held annually on the Drew University Campus.

Students meet with multiple panels of executives as they rotate from

classroom to classroom.

Executives speak with a classroom full of students for 30 minutes at a time.

Every year, Council executives visit Madison High School to talk with 35-50 students in an event called the “Emerging Leaders Lunch Series”. It is a great opportunity for students to hear stories from successful CEOs and get advice as they head off to take their next steps after high school. The event typically has two Council executives with a representative from Junior Achievement as moderator.

The Annual Chief Executive Council for Madison Cocktail and Networking Event, held annually in the spring, provides a great opportunity for Council members to come together for informal networking and to reflect on the year’s accomplishments and plans for the future.
