Ribbon Cutting at Bridgewater's New Municipal Complex


The photo shows Bridgewater officials enjoying a light moment at the ribbon cutting ceremony held last week, May 7, at the new Bridgewater Municipal Complex on Commons Way. Mayor Patricia Flannery stands behind Township Council President Patrick Scaglione.

To the left is Council member Howard Norgalis, with Michael Hsing, barely visible, next to him. Bob Albano stands smiling to the right. Councilor Matthew Moench was unable to be present for the photo op.

This observance formally launched the new police and court facilities which are now completely functional. The administration building is still under renovation. A Township email advised that, “A more formal grand opening will be held once the entire project is complete in 2010.”

Township representatives gave tours of the police station and of the Municipal Court and meeting rooms. I was quite impressed with Bridgewater’s new operational headquarters. The police station is extremely functional and appears to be highly secure – you won’t want to fool around there.

The court facilities will also serve as the venue for Township Council and other meetings. The Court and Meeting Room area is quite imposing and much larger than the old facilities.
