The “State of the Township” address in Belleville has evolved to feel more like an annual celebration than a traditional government speech from Mayor Michael Melham. It has become a signature event for the township to mark its major milestones, while announcing future initiatives, in a festive, fun atmosphere.

While seats remain, residents are cordially invited to for a small, nominal fee to be part of the live audience as Melham delivers the address, set for 6 p.m. on Monday April 29 at Nanina’s in the Park, 540 Mill St. As taxpayer funds are not used for this event, there is a fee to attend, covering the expense. Any excess funds are used for charity via the non-profit Michael Melham Civic Association.

“When we began the State of the Township Address when I first was elected to office, I thought it was important to celebrate all that Belleville can be, our enormous potential,” Melham said. “Today, through the work and vision of this Administration, as well as a proactive and committed Township Council, we have been able to accomplish so much together over the past six years of hard work. And I feel we are still just getting started.”
