Township of Nutley

What Township of Nutley does

The Township of Nutley is a municipal government entity in Essex County, New Jersey, founded in 1905 and governed by an elected Board of Commissioners with Mayor John V. Kelly III serving as chief executive. The township provides a full suite of municipal services to its residents across multiple departments: Police, Fire, Public Works, Parks and Recreation, Revenue and Finance, Public Affairs and Health, and Clerk services. Its digital infrastructure is built on the EvoGov municipal content management system, with online recreation registration processed through CommunityPass and CapturePoint platforms. The Parks and Recreation Department operates the most visible programmatic offering — a year-round catalog of youth, adult, and senior classes, sports leagues (soccer, flag football, cross country, tennis), summer camps (Camp Nutley), and special events, with nominal fees ($65-$85 per participant for youth sports).

The township delivers services through both in-person facilities (Town Hall at 1 Kennedy Drive, Recreation Building at 44 Park Avenue, Early Childhood Center at 777 Bloomfield Avenue, Health Department at 149 Chestnut Street) and digital channels (website, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, RSS). Funding comes from property taxes and state/federal grants rather than commercial revenue. Recent capital initiatives include the 2025 opening of the Early Childhood Center (Pre-K for 3- and 4-year-olds, completed in under 24 months and averting a potential $80 million referendum), the Diamond Springs project (82 age-restricted luxury apartments), ongoing ON3 redevelopment of the former Hoffmann-La Roche site, and pursuit of NJDEP Green Acres funding for ADA-compliant park improvements. External rankings place Nutley in the top 6% for best places to raise a family and top 12% for best places to live in America (Niche.com), and the township has demonstrated operational efficiency (75% reduction in rodent complaints; $250,000+ in dump-fee savings via the Uniform Cart model).
