South Brunswick Township, NJ (April 7) – South Brunswick Township has been honored as a 2025 “Healthy Town” by the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute’s Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC), marking the township’s second consecutive year receiving this recognition for its outstanding efforts to promote community health and wellness.

The Healthy Town designation celebrates municipalities that demonstrate innovation and commitment in areas such as physical activity, healthy eating, mental health education, and overall well-being.  South Brunswick earned the award for its coordinated approach to meeting resident needs across township departments and community partners, with programs addressing food insecurity, homelessness, transportation barriers, and language access.  Initiatives such as mobile food pantry events and outreach fairs in underserved neighborhoods highlight the township’s commitment to health equity.

South Brunswick also supports wellness across all ages through senior programs and inclusive recreational opportunities for adults with special needs via its Pioneer Program.

“Earning this recognition for a second consecutive year reflects our sustained commitment to advancing community health and wellness for all our residents,” said Mayor Charles Carley.  “From our annual health and wellness events and educational outreach to continued investment in our parks and recreational facilities, South Brunswick Township remains committed to creating opportunities that help our residents stay healthy and thrive.”

The Mayors Wellness Campaign, a statewide initiative of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, continues to recognize communities that are leading efforts to improve health through access to physical activity, nutritious foods, safe environments, and mental health support.  In 2025, a record 45 municipalities were designated as “Healthy Towns,” reflecting a growing commitment to public health across New Jersey.

SOUTH BRUNSWICK PREPARES FOR ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS ON RHODE HALL ROAD AND ROUTE 522

South Brunswick Township, NJ (March 17) – South Brunswick Township is preparing for roadway improvements on two major corridors serving the community as part of the County’s 2026 resurfacing program.

The planned improvements include milling and paving portions of:

• Rhode Hall Road (CR 535) – from Cranbury–South River Road to Colletti Court
• Route 522 (CR 522) – from Georges Road to Kingston Lane

These projects will help provide a smoother driving surface and improve roadway conditions for residents, commuters, school transportation, and local businesses that rely on these heavily traveled routes.

In preparation for the resurfacing work, the South Brunswick Utilities Department will review sanitary sewer manholes and water valve boxes located within these roadways to ensure they are properly aligned with the pavement surface before paving begins. This step helps ensure the final roadway surface is safe and level for motorists.

Township officials will coordinate with Middlesex County as the project moves forward and will share updates with residents once construction timelines are confirmed.

During the work period, motorists may experience temporary lane closures, construction activity, and minor traffic delays in these areas. Residents are encouraged to plan accordingly and drive cautiously near work zones.

South Brunswick Township remains committed to maintaining safe and reliable infrastructure and appreciates residents’ patience while these roadway improvements are completed.

Residents can stay informed about Township news and projects by visiting the Township website and following official Township communication channels.
