manufacturing, and logistics.
Bloomfield is development-friendly, with experienced staff who stand ready to provide
guidance and assistance related to the development of this site. The current mill rate is set

and actively supports initiatives that enhance quality of life for residents and promote

Recently, the Town has embarked on several projects aimed at revitalization, including
the Prosser Library redevelopment and multiple residential community redevelopments.
The Town was awarded a Community Investment Fund planning grant by the the State
through DECD to develop a Master Plan for the Town Center. That plan was recently
completed. These efforts illustrate Bloomfield’s continuing commitment to a diversified
redevelopment strategy, spanning cultural and civic upgrades, a range of housing options,
and strategic economic drivers.
Concerning the acquisition of property, to ensure that long-term revitalization and
development goals are met and key redevelopment areas are not excluded, the Town may

federal law, to support the acquisition of priority sites.
