It takes the whole community and brings it together. The future is to keep our businesses thriving. We want everything to be here in Old Bridge.” Mayor Henry adds, “We’ve always improved our services or improved upon what we were doing, and we want to continue that. My goal over the next five to seven years, if I’m the mayor, is to change the balance of the tax base from residential to more commercial/ pilot agreements, while improving the quality of life even more for our residents.” Committed to planned and steady residential and commercial growth for Old Bridge, Henry adds his final thoughts, “We want to just maintain a slow, steady, sustainable growth. Everybody wants stability in their life, and so do I want stability in this town, so that people can come here and know that their future is pretty much as they see it now. We continue to grow, business-wise and that’s a goal that we have also, to attract even more.”
