We congratulate Officer Fisher on this milestone and look forward to his continued service to our community. Please join us in welcoming Officer Fisher to the Caldwell Police Department.
Trailers Removed from Smull Parking Lot
🎥 {TAP/CLICK FOR VIDEO}
A new chapter for Caldwell is underway.
The removal of the temporary trailers on Smull Avenue marks the end of an era and another important milestone for our community. After serving for years as the temporary home of our Municipal Offices and Public Library, the trailers are making way for the future.
With Borough operations now permanently located in the new Municipal Building and Public Library at 80 Bloomfield Avenue, residents will enjoy modern, accessible facilities for generations to come.
Next, the former trailer site will be renovated to restore much-needed parking for residents, visitors, and our downtown businesses. We can also look ahead to our next major municipal investment—the new Civic Center at the former library site.
Thank you to our residents for your patience and support as we continue moving Caldwell forward. The best is yet to come!
Women's Impact Awarded to 5 Girls on the Run Coaches
Congratulations to the following Girls on the Run coaches: Sandra Cabalu, Madelyn Santiago, Maria Lopez, Michelle Syme and Hayden Wilson.
Each answered the call for service in the fall of 2025 and dedicated their time, energy, and compassion to helping lead 24 girls through a transformative season of Girls on the Run for Team Caldwell. Through their leadership, Sandra, Madelyn, Maria, Michelle and Hayden made a profound and lasting impact on the lives of the 24 girls they coached. They modeled what it means to support and uplift women and girls, encouraged each participant to believe in herself, and strengthened the spirit of service within our amazing community.
This annual award has been established by the Borough of Caldwell to recognize women who have made outstanding contributions to our community. This award will honor an individual (or individuals) for outstanding contributions as a professional, volunteer, or agent of change.
Caldwell Beautification
Day!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out for the Downtown Beautification & Cleanup this past Sunday! From local officials to dedicated residents, our community truly showed up in a big way. Despite the very warm temperatures, volunteers worked tirelessly to plant and refresh our downtown. Be sure to take a walk along Bloomfield Avenue and check out the beautiful new planters! This is what makes Caldwell special, neighbors working together to keep our town looking its best.

New "Civic Center"
Context: The old Library, which was flooded by Hurricane Ida, and saved from demolition by former Councilman Rick Alonso, will be a new "civic center" for residents to use as a multipurpose space, using insurance money (not taxpayer money) to develop the property.
The bid was awarded, and construction fencing has gone up as the Contractor, will be starting work in late July or early August.
