• Property Taxes Part III (nj21st.com) — Bloomfield homeowners can see exactly how the township’s assessed and equalized property values stack up in Essex County’s latest tax tables, which help determine our share of county taxes. The article explains how Millburn and other towns’ revaluations, equalization ratios, and budget needs shape individual property tax bills across the county.
• Essex County Daily Buzz: May 20, 2026 (jerseybee.org) — Bloomfield residents can look forward to the Community Farmer’s Market opening June 2 at the Bloomfield Public Library, running every Tuesday afternoon through late October. The roundup also highlights nearby concerts, workshops, youth activities, and services across Essex County, giving you plenty of options in Nutley, Newark, Maplewood, South Orange, Irvington, East Orange, Belleville, and West Orange.
• Empowering Communities Through Sound: The NJ Hearing Aid Project at Montclair State University (montclair.edu) — Bloomfield residents can directly support a statewide hearing-aid bank run from Montclair State University’s Broad Street facility in Bloomfield, where donated devices are refurbished and given free to eligible New Jersey seniors and disabled residents. The program doubles as hands-on training for audiology students while improving hearing access and social connection for low-income neighbors across the state.
