It is my privilege to share with you the Township’s accomplishments and service updates from the second half of 2022. The Township Board of Trustees and I continue to improve operations and services, as well as allocate more funds to meet the new or increasing needs of Township residents. Here’s what we have been doing to serve residents:

We hired two full-time staff members. We hired an additional case worker to assist residents with human services that the Township provides. We also hired a Communications & Community Outreach Coordinator to improve our communication channels with residents and increase community involvement.

• Based on your feedback, we are exploring different options for offering transportation services in the Township. We currently have a Dial-A-Ride program that we offer through cab companies. We are exploring other transportation options such as ride sharing through Uber and Lyft to improve reliability and availability. Stay tuned for Dial-A-Ride news in early 2023.
• We launched a comprehensive strategic planning process including focus groups, a Community Needs Assessment Survey, and a strategic planning workshop with elected officials. The plan will be finalized in early 2023 and posted to our website. We will convene project teams to lead various high-priority initiatives coming out of the Strategic Plan.
• In October, the Food Pantry hosted “Glow Fore It: A glow-in-the-dark golf outing” to raise funds and awareness for the Pantry. Nearly 30 golfers participated in this inaugural event, and we hope to build momentum for next year’s glow golf outing!
• From October 3 to November 3, Northfield Township Assessor Alida E. Nally, CIAO, and her staff assisted over 1,100 residents with their property reassessment questions and appeals. The Township also hired temporary staff to make sure we could assist as many residents as possible. Kudos to Assessor Nally and her team for all their hard work during the appeal window!

• The Food Pantry continues to provide food and grocery store gift cards to residents experiencing food insecurity at an unprecedented pace as the need in our community continues to increase. Our Food Pantry staff have done a great job of finding alternative sources of food to help keep the Pantry’s shelves stocked.

We’re always looking for feedback. If you have ideas or questions, please email me at: shiva@northfieldtownship.com.

Humbly yours, Shiva Mohsenzadeh, Supervisor
