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.

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.
