Town of Hammonton

What Town of Hammonton does

The Town of Hammonton is a municipal government entity serving the residents and businesses of Hammonton, New Jersey, from its Town Hall at 100 Central Avenue. It operates under New Jersey state law and is governed by an elected Mayor (Steven Furgione), Deputy Mayor (Sam Rodio), and Town Council. The town provides the full scope of local government services: public safety (Police, Fire, Emergency Management), infrastructure maintenance (Highway Department, Construction Department), municipal utilities (water and sewer), parks and recreation, the Municipal Court, the Joint Land Use Board (planning and zoning), permitting and licensing, vital records administration, and tax assessment and collection.

The town's technology infrastructure is conventional civic e-government tooling rather than a proprietary platform. It operates Access Hammonton, a local government access channel broadcast on Comcast Channel 9 and streamed on YouTube and Vimeo for live and archived public meetings. Resident-facing digital services include the SeeClickFix platform for non-emergency service requests (potholes, code violations, graffiti) and the Edmunds Associates online portal (wipp.edmundsassoc.com) for tax and utility payments. Internal operations run on Microsoft Office 365 for email and collaboration. Active capital projects include Green Acres-funded Lake Park improvements, an ADA-accessible playground, Bicycle & Pedestrian Planning, and Safe Routes to School infrastructure in partnership with the local school district.

As a government entity, the Town of Hammonton's revenue model is fundamentally different from a commercial enterprise. It is funded by residential and commercial property taxes (the primary revenue stream), municipal utility fees, permits and licenses (construction, business, dog, food truck, hawker, marriage), municipal court fines, and recreation program fees, supplemented by state aid and federal grants. There are no shareholders, no funding rounds, and no parent company. The town markets itself and its services through its website (townofhammonton.org), Facebook, X/Twitter, YouTube, Vimeo, and email newsletters, with cultural identity anchored in the 'Blueberry Capital of the World' brand and the 151st annual Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Festival.
