our goals

 We want Chesterfield and our surrounding areas to retain a rural, “hometown” feeling and avoid joining other communities that have watched warehouses pop-up without the benefits that were promised by the developers. 


 In addition to encouraging the continuation of a golf course or other green space, we advocate for other issues that impact our community's quality of life. From help applying for grants for better facilities, to advocating for a better environment, we hope to have a positive, lasting impact on Chesterfield and the surrounding area. 

“New Jersey is proud to be known as the Garden State, but we are at risk of becoming the warehouse state” - Senator Sweeney
