367 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2020 MOUNT OL I VE TOWNSHI P , NEW JERSEY for residents to celebrate – in 2020, we were voted number 12th safest town in the nation by Safewise. Looking to the future The future looks promising and eventful. One of the last major areas of development, the ITC East project, will start to take shape, an immense solar field is being planned, and the Township auctioned off 57 acres of land for future development. My goals are to start moving forward on the Budd Lake Beach and Horse Farm redevelopment projects. Another major objective is to assist with the redevelopment of a vacant 1 million square foot, five-building facility (the former BASF Complex) into a “Live, Work, Play” community. And we’ve now secured approval for our current affordable housing plan (3rd Round). The Mayor and Council also have goals of stabilizing taxes. For eight years in a row, there has been no municipal tax increase as we continue to encourage growth while at the same time limit spending. Mount Olive is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Our municipal services, a highly rated school system, economic and residential developments, trails and open space, historical buildings, recreational facilities, and our jewel of all jewels – Turkey Brook Park – serves as the focal point of our community. Our other amenities include the Mount Olive Public Library, Senior Center, the Budd Lake Beach and an award winning playground and splash pad. We are home to small town retail businesses, as well as larger corporations who take advantage of the Foreign Trade Zone. But the most valuable asset to our community are the industrious and civic minded residents, employees, and volunteers. Mount Olive is a community that cares for one another, is resilient to anything, and is stronger together. From recreation, to education, to business, Mount Olive has something for everyone. www.campbellsupply.com We are your premier dealership for Freightliner, Select Trucks Mid-Atlan�c, and Spartan Emergency Response firetrucks.
