81 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 7 parks and rec here,” Medany says. “We have an event every week here in Deptford Township, we want people to be involved in the community. So that’s where our events come in. When we get a lot of folks to come out to the events, they meet the administration. We’re big on that in Deptford Township. We want folks to get to know the Mayor and council and administration. Because we all live here. We’re one of them and we want them to see the job that we’re doing. We’re very transparent. We want them to know how our government is being run.” Planning for the future, Deptford Township is placing an important focus on keeping the Deptford Mall going strong, as well as all the associated businesses and restaurants and entertainment venues. But they are also always on the lookout for different types of growth. Medany confirms, “We have a car dealership talking to us. We have a cold storage warehouse talking to us. Our construction office is very busy. Planning and zoning is very busy. We want to stay involved and make sure we grow in the right way – not only for the next five years, but we’re trying to plan out for the next 10 and 15 and 20 years.” Deptford Township had a vision to build. And when they did, growth followed. They have diversified their offerings as a community and their result is bigger than anything they dreamed. As the Mayor attests, “We’re always excited here in Deptford Township!” DEPTFORD TOWNSHI P , NEW JERSEY KINSLEY’S DEPTFORD RENEWABLE ENERGY CENTER 2025 DELSEA DR.
