Calling all tree fans: The Bordentown City Shade Tree Committee is once again seeking interested volunteers to take part in the annual Arbor Day tree planting this Saturday, April 13th.
As always, this is a great way to meet more neighbors and help beautify the little city with a lot of charm. This year planting will take place at the Thomas Paine monument, as well as several other spots around town.
The event will kick off at 9 AM in front of former City Hall at 324 Farnsworth Avenue. Participants are encouraged to bring gloves, shovels, and water to stay hydrated…not for planting
REMINDER: The monthly meeting of the Board of Commissioners is tonight at 7 PM at Carslake Community Center and also available via Zoom.
Included on tonight’s agenda is introduction and overview of the newly proposed city budget. The budget overview will be posted online this week for review. The public hearing ahead of final adoption is slated for next month’s meeting on May 13, 2024.

A huge thank you to Bordentown Spartan Bootcamp for adopting the Bordentown City Veterans Memorial!
Deputy Mayor Joe Myers and our Veterans Committee Chair Marguerite Sylvester were out there to greet them as they showed up in force last night to conduct their first cleanup.
We thank them for committing to maintain this monument so we can make sure it remains a lasting tribute to all those from our little city who have served and sacrificed for our nation!
A huge thank you to everyone who made this event a tremendous success - including Congressman Andy Kim, Bordentown Historical Society, American Red Cross New Jersey Region, and Bordentown Regional School District!! Clara would be proud. And thank you to all who came out to celebrate the renaming of our Post Office in her honor!
Thank you to the residents on East Church Street! Due to a damaged underground storm pipe and an open joint, a sinkhole was developing on this street. We closed the road yesterday and were successfully able to repair and restore the area. We likely have to do a little more cosmetic repairs on the sidewalk, but just wanted to thank everyone for their cooperation and patience to get this done yesterday.
Thank you! 🙏🏽
As Spring gets closer, we are repairing and updating a few parks, including several amenities at West Street Park. Thank you to all of our members of the City’s Parks Committee for their leadership and support, and all of the residents for their patience. We are almost done!
