Township of Edison

What Township of Edison does

Township of Edison is a municipal government entity located in Middlesex County, New Jersey, serving approximately 108,000 residents across 32 square miles and ranking as the 6th largest municipality in New Jersey. Founded in 1776, the township operates under New Jersey state law with an elected Municipal Council and Mayor (currently Sam Joshi) overseeing day-to-day administration through departments including Public Safety, Public Works, Health, Recreation, Finance, Water and Sewer, Engineering, and the Clerk's Office. The entity is named after inventor Thomas Edison in recognition of his Menlo Park laboratory located within its boundaries.

The township delivers essential municipal services to residents and businesses, including property tax assessment and collection, water and sewer utility operations, recycling and sanitation, police and fire services, emergency management, parks and recreation programs, public health and senior services, animal control, and municipal court functions. Its technology infrastructure is built on commercial off-the-shelf platforms: the Revize CMS powers edisonnj.gov, Everbridge/Nixle handles emergency SMS and email alerts, Qscend processes 311 citizen service requests, CapturePoint manages recreation registration, and the township operates its own Edison TV cable channel for community programming and council meeting broadcasts.

Revenue is generated through three primary streams: property taxes assessed on residential and commercial property within township boundaries, recurring water and sewer utility fees from approximately 108,000 residents, and federal/state funding including Community Development Block Grants (CDBG). The township reached a strategic milestone with the adoption of its 10-year Master Plan on July 15, 2024, and is actively executing the Amboy Avenue Rehabilitation Project with redevelopment planner Heyer and Gruel. With 217 employees, Edison Township operates as a geographically bounded public entity with no private parent company and no equity funding structure, functioning under standard municipal governance and accountability to residents.
