Message from the Mayor
As we near the close of 2022, I want to recognize and thank the many people who make Cranford a wonderful, desirable community.
Thank you to the hundreds of Cranford residents who share their talents, time and generosity whether as part of an organization or on their own. You repeatedly step up to assist those facing incredible challenges; you organize fantastic events that entertain us or beautify the community; you plant trees, flowers and work on the annual town and river clean up; you guide us on ways to have a more environmentally-friendly and sustainable community; you make recommendations to make the streets safer for pedestrians and bicyclists. This is just a sample of what you contribute.
Thank you to those serving on the many Township boards and committees like Planning, Zoning, Library, Downtown, Centennial Village, Flood Advisory, Environmental, and Recreation and Parks. There are 35 organizations and hundreds of residents who volunteer on these committees.
Thank you to everyone who stood up for and stood alongside those facing racism, anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQ rights and bigotry. You personify the words “Everyone Welcome Here” and Cranford is better and stronger because of your voice and support.
Thank you to Township employees. We are fortunate to have women and men who embrace teamwork and cooperation because that’s the best path to better service for our residents.
2023 will bring challenges but also opportunities to make our wonderful town an even better place to live, work and visit. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the Township Committee and our volunteers.
Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanza and wishes for a healthy and good New Year.
Best,
Kathleen Miller Prunty
Mayor
