Mayor’s Welcome,

On Behalf of the Township Council and myself, I welcome you to the official website for the Township Of Berlin, New Jersey.

It is our goal to provide both residents an non-residents the opportunity to learn about Berlin Township a small community in
Southern New Jersey that I call home.

Our town is approximately 3 square miles in size with a population of about 5,300 people and growing due to our new Senior Housing Development called" Montebello" which will consist of 348 new single family homes. In addition, we have "Taunton Run" a senior housing that provides 150 one floor garden apartment units. The township also has a commercial element that provides a ratable base that helps to maintain a stable tax rate. The commercial ratable base is comprised of several large chain stores such as Sears, Wal-Mart, ShopRite, Home Depot and Staples. We also have several successful corporate and industrial parks. In additions, we have a pre-school through eighth grade premier school system which was one of the chosen few for the "Renaissance Lighthouse District" located within two neighborhood buildings. There also are several churches of varying denominations.

Our open space is distributed throughout the town in the form of three major parks, Day Avenue Park- an all purpose recreational park, Edgewood Avenue- a new three field soccer complex and Luke Avenue- a new state-of-art sports and recreational park. There are several mini parks and tot-lots located in the residential areas.

Over time you will see some new and improved changes going on in our town. With the NJDOT Grant we are in the process of replacing the sidewalks on Haddon Ave. With this site we will provide any other information and respond to comments received from residents as to what they would like to see made available on our web pages. Please use the Guestbook to provide your thoughts on this endeavor.

As Mayor, I invite you to communicate to me your comments and questions regarding Berlin Township . Please feel free to E-Mail me at mayormagazzu@berlintwp.com . I look forward to not only hearing from you, but seeing you around our town.

Sincerely,

Phyllis Jeffries-Magazzu
