About Us
Our Mission
Residents for Westfield is a nonpartisan grassroots community group that spontaneously came about after many of us attended the September 2022 town council presentation about the Streetworks redevelopment project. During and after that meeting, an overwhelming number of people expressed shock at the enormous size and scale of the proposed plan, as well as concerns relating to traffic, safety, parking, impact on the school budget, and prudence of an investment in so much commercial office space.
In order to address these concerns and bring them to the attention of the mayor and town council, Residents for Westfield created website and our Facebook group.
Residents for Westfield is seeking transparent and responsible development within Westfield. We are asking for development that fits the size, scope, and scale of Westfield's already unique and highly desirable character. This is a nonpartisan group of community members united in our concern about how we invest in the future of our town.
We love this town and the unique community, award-winning downtown, and suburban features of light, air, and open space – these are the reasons we moved here and stay here. Newark, Jersey City, Hoboken, and NYC are just a short train ride away. When we want to visit them, we can – if we wanted to live there, we would.
