Belleville Mayor to Celebrate Progress and Focuses on Future at “State of the Township” Address on Monday, April 29
Posted April 15, 2024The “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.”
