Mayor's Message

Mayor Paul Medany’s Monthly Message - January 2022

As we enter the New Year, our Administration has terrific news and plans coming to our community. 
New business openings are being planned and started. Business was very good at our local stores and 
at the Deptford Mall. We thank you for shopping local. Inspira Medical will be occupying the old 
Dick’s Sporting Goods building, across from the Deptford Mall. A new Urgent Care is coming to the 
old Grove Hardware Store on Delsea Drive and Cooper Street. A new hotel is in the planning stages, 
and Joann Fabrics is coming to the old Babies “R” Us location on Clements Bridge Road. All of our 
Retail Developments are mostly occupied with a great variety of shopping, dining and entertainment 
businesses.

We have another year planned for the expansion of recreation, events, senior activities and so much 
more. We are planning and improving municipal services. Our wellness campaign is concentrating on 
keeping employees and residents safe and healthy. Code Enforcement is doing a great job filling 
vacant homes and protecting our neighborhoods. The Police Department is out every day keeping our 
homes, residents and businesses safe.

We thank all of our Committees and groups who meet every month along with our volunteers who manage 
our youth sports leagues. It is also an unprecedented era of cooperation between the Fire 
Commissioners and School Board.

As you can see we are very excited about this coming year and we look forward to seeing you at one 
of our fantastic events. We will be walking your neighborhoods, coming to your HOA meetings and 
group gatherings. You are our neighbors and friends and this is what our community is all about. 
Building relationships while keeping our community strong and working together.

We have met so many challenges head on this past year, from the Pandemic to a devastating Tornado. 
An economic downturn in the beginning, to success now. Challenging national politics and social 
issues; but here in Deptford we stayed strong and together in our common goals!

Thank you for a great year and we are excited and looking forward to an even better one.
