The Borough of Chatham has invited qualified developers to submit proposals for the redevelopment of the Post Office Plaza Redevelopment Area. Chatham Borough’s Mayor and Borough Council are interested in your thoughts on this important project for the future of our town. We would appreciate resident input on this topic. Please take a few moments to complete the following questions and please feel free to leave additional comments on this issue in the comments section if you wish, or email the Borough if you have any questions ([email protected]).

To learn more about this project, come and attend the Post Office Plaza Public Workshop at Chatham Public Library on Wednesday, November 28th from 7-8.30pm where we’ll be happy to answer any and all questions you may have.
