According to chair Ryan Rosenberg, “This is a great endorsement of Downtown Hightstown’s role as a community hub. We’ve worked hard to build partnerships that make everyone more successful in improving the town, and having nonprofit status will help us generate funding for projects that will further energize our downtown.”

Established in 2008, we are an all-volunteer group of residents, business owners and stakeholders dedicated to improving the visual appeal and desirability of the borough’s downtown area. We have been endorsed by the Main Street New Jersey program, in which our organization participates at an Associate Level.

Serving as an online hub for disseminating information on all things Hightstonian, Downtown Hightstown actively supports existing nonprofits, civic groups and borough committees, assisting with fundraising and volunteer recruitment while providing a promotional platform for family-friendly events. Our efforts also focus on showcasing art and culture, preserving Hightstown’s history, and revitalizing public space through incremental improvement projects.

Our new designation as a public charity creates a promising opportunity for future cultural, educational, and historical preservation initiatives, such as a public mural project currently under development. Plans also include expanded distribution of our Downtown Hightstown promotional brochure, as well as building our signature event, the annual holiday window decorating contest in which student artists paint downtown businesses’ windows with winter themes.

If you haven’t already, we hope you’ll subscribe to receive our weekly updates on upcoming Hightstown projects and events. All are invited to attend our meetings, held on the second Wednesday of each month, starting at 7:30PM at the Hightstown Memorial Library. Tax-deductible donations can be made online or mailed to Downtown Hightstown, Inc., 109 Mercer Street, Hightstown, NJ, 08520.

Opening reception: Friday, June 1, 6:30 – 8:00 p.m., with an gallery talk at 7:00 p.m.
