As the cooler temperatures set in and official sweater weather begins, we will shift our focus to the winter months and the upcoming holiday season. It is the perfect time to reflect on what has been accomplished in the Borough over the past few months and provide an update on a highly anticipated re-opening planned for the new year.
2025 was another eventful year for our Public Works Department, and that did not even include the efforts of keeping up with the unpredictable weather all summer long. The Borough’ s 2025 Road Paving Program included various roads that needed resurfacing, and the Reclamite ® Asphalt Rejuvenator Project which applied a spray sealant to preserve and extend the pavement’ s lifespan by several years. Each of these programs covered 16 streets across the Borough. Our‘ Welcome to Baldwin Borough’ signage received beautification makeovers and each of the Borough’ s community parks and fields were tightly maintained; thus, keeping our Borough’ s amenities attractive and inviting for our residents and visitors alike. Planned for Spring 2026, McAnnulty Park will undergo improvements which will include a new basketball court and two pickleball courts. Additional details will be shared in the new year.
As a Borough we were pleased to announce that after 4 years of planning and hard work, our 3 fire departments joined forces to consolidate as Baldwin Fire Rescue. That work will continue into 2026 including an official rebrand, streamlined processes & communication, comprehensive equipment inventory, and combined training to ensure the response to each call is consistent, efficient, & timely. John F. Kennedy once said“ Every person can make a difference, and every person should try.” If you or someone you know is interested in volunteering or learning more about how to become a member of Baldwin Fire Rescue, please stop by any station, they would be happy to meet you!
Lastly, I am proud to announce that after months of hard work, patience, and favorable weather conditions, the municipal pool is on its way to completion! Next summer residents will experience a revitalized modern and ADA accessible facility that includes zero entry( no steps), plenty of fun water features for all ages, and a new dual slide. The grand re-opening date and season pass membership details will be shared as soon as they are finalized. In the meantime, you can see photos of the progress on our Facebook and Instagram accounts. We thank the residents for their patience during this major reconstruction and Brentwood Borough for their generosity in providing the Baldwin residents access to their facility during this steamy summer! We hope you will find it was worth the wait!
We look forward to another year and will share any new announcements with you as they are available. And finally, a gentle reminder that our Public Works crews are busy all winter long keeping streets clear during weather events. Please do your part by not shoveling snow from your sidewalks and driveways into the streets and keep vehicles parked off the roadways where possible.
Have a Happy & Safe Holiday Season!
