In a recent announcement, Deal Mayor Sam Cohen, Commissioner David Simhon, and Commissioner Morris Ades appointed Jack Kassin as a new commissioner to serve the town of Deal, New Jersey. Kassin expressed his gratitude and humility for the opportunity to serve alongside Mayor Cohen and Commissioner Simhon, both of whom have a proven track record of successful leadership in Deal.
The mayor and the commissioners of Deal have acknowledged and praised the exceptionally dedicated service of Commissioner Ades, who is stepping down from his position. His commitment and hard work have greatly contributed to the betterment of the Deal community and for that and much more, he is to be applauded.
With a keen focus on improving the quality of life for both year-round and summer residents of Deal, Kassin outlined several key areas of interest and priority. Foremost among these is the commitment to address issues related to security, safety, and health, underscoring the importance of ensuring the well-being of the community.
However, the new commissioner’s aspirations extend beyond basic necessities, as Kassin expressed enthusiasm for “beautifying” and “enhancing” the town of Deal. This vision encompasses initiatives aimed at creating a more aesthetically pleasing environment and fostering a greater sense of enjoyment for residents and visitors alike.
Outlined are seven specific “quality of life” initiatives that Kassin aims to tackle during his tenure, building upon existing efforts and introducing new strategies to enhance the town’s appeal and livability. The commissioner emphasized their commitment to diligent work and collaboration to achieve these goals.
The announcement signals a renewed focus on community development and improvement, with Kassin’s appointment serving as a catalyst for positive change in Deal. As residents look ahead to the next four years, they can anticipate tangible progress in areas such as infrastructure enhancement, public spaces, and overall quality of life.
At the heart of the endeavor lies a bold plan to completely overhaul the iconic Deal Casino, infusing it with modern amenities and state-of-the-art facilities. The extensive renovation project seeks to elevate the casino to contemporary standards while preserving its historic charm. Anticipated enhancements include upgraded services, improved infrastructure, and enhanced recreational offerings, catering to the diverse needs of residents and visitors alike.
In addition to the casino revamp, under Mayor Sam Cohen’s leadership, the township has committed itself to refurbishing and beautifying the Phillips Ave Pavilion, a beloved community hub. The revitalization efforts will not only enhance the pavilion’s aesthetics but also expand its services, providing residents with an enriched leisure experience.
Addressing longstanding concerns, the township has prioritized resolving the persistent flooding problem in certain areas of Deal. Through strategic infrastructure improvements and drainage solutions, officials aim to mitigate flood risks and safeguard properties against water damage.
Furthermore, the township is embarking on an ambitious landscaping initiative, encompassing the planting of trees, shrubs, and flowers throughout the town. This green initiative not only enhances the town’s aesthetic appeal but also promotes environmental sustainability and biodiversity.
To modernize the township’s infrastructure, plans are underway to replace outdated street lights with cutting-edge, energy-efficient alternatives. The new lighting fixtures will not only improve visibility and safety but also contribute to energy conservation efforts.
Norwood Ave is set to undergo a significant transformation, with beautification efforts aimed at enhancing pedestrian accessibility and storefront aesthetics. The township intends to create inviting pedestrian walkways and implement uniform signage standards to create a cohesive and visually appealing streetscape.
In collaboration with the Deal First Aid Squad, the township is in the planning stages of constructing a new headquarters. This facility will provide essential support to Deal’s first responders and ensure that they have the resources they need to serve the community effectively.
Addressing concerns about noise pollution, the township is exploring the adoption of quieter, eco-friendly landscaping equipment. By transitioning to electric or battery-operated machinery, officials aim to minimize disruptions to residents’ daily lives while promoting sustainability.
As the township looks to the future, they remain committed to serving the best interests of Deal and its residents. In order to ensure a brighter and more prosperous future for all, the Jewish Voice has endorsed Mayor Sam Cohen, Commissioner David Simhon, and Commissioner Jack Kassin. We ask that you cast your votes for them in the next election as we work together to build a wonderful place to live.
