Welcome to Washington Borough. We are a small community, rich in tradition and history, located in the northwest region of New Jersey, in Warren County. The people of Washington are hardworking and genuine with a focus on family, friendship, faith and service.  We are very optimistic about our future and firmly believe that we have turned a new page in Washington’s great history. We recently created a downtown streetscape project, along with two significant redevelopment projects. The first is the Midtown Limited Project, which includes retail and business offices, and 48 condominium units. The second project is the construction of our new downtown parking lot that will serve approximately 122 cars. This project will have a direct impact on the local businesses and also provide an area where events can be held.

The many Washington Business Improvement District events, fairs and markets continue to attract people to our town making Washington a destination. Our business district continues to thrive and grow each day. We look forward to the many aesthetic changes that will continue, as new development and redevelopment comes to our town.

The construction of the new municipal garage has begun, the development of the preliminary plans for the Railroad Avenue park project have been completed, the upgrades to the borough pool are complete, and we have begun to reconstruct & repave our many streets that are in disrepair.

I realize that in today’s society, many of us find ourselves overextended and unable to attend meetings or seek information in person. This site is intended to provide access to important information and open the lines of communication between the residents of the borough of Washington and the municipal officials and employees. As you navigate the site, you will find a wealth of information available to you. We hope that we can continue to provide you with up to date information on a regular basis. Additionally, there are several links to various agencies and sites that those seeking additional information will find useful.

I am proud to acknowledge the members of the governing body, the many professional employees, the municipal board members and the many dedicated volunteers that are responsible for making this community thrive. By navigating this site, you will come to appreciate, just as I have, how fortunate this community is to have all of them. They are outstanding men and women who are dedicated to the borough of Washington.

Mayor, Scott McDonald
