Mayor James Barsa’s Week in Review
Week Ending: 3/14/26

Message from the Mayor
I am proud to announce the launch of our new and improved official Borough website. This updated website is designed to better serve our residents by making it easier to find important information, access borough services, and stay informed about community news and events. The new website features a cleaner design and improved navigation. I encourage all residents to visit the website and explore the new features. Our goal is to continue improving communication and transparency while providing the highest level of service to our community.

Mayor and Council Meeting
* A contract has been awarded to 4 Clean Up for the Summit Street roadway improvements.
* All council members gave their committee reports and brought back information from the Boards, Committees, Commissions and various departments they are liaison too.
Department of Public Works
At this point in the year there is a possibility we could have a plowable snow event. There is no on-street parking when the plows are out clearing the roads. Please do not put any snow back into the street as this can create a hazardous condition.
Recreation
The Recreation Committee is looking to gage resident interest in joining a flag football league. The league would be for boys and girls in 1st through 8th grade. If your children are interested in playing flag football please email the Recreation Committee Secretary at Lvolpitta@norwoodboro.org.

Do you have a talent that you would like to share with the members of the community or a topic you are well versed in that you would like to give a presentation on? The Recreation Committee is looking for volunteers to teach a class or give presentations to Norwood residents. If you would like to volunteer your time please email the Recreation Committee Secretary at Lvolpitta@norwoodboro.org with your idea.


Registration is now open for Northern Valley Lacrosse and also for a two day basketball camp at NVOT.

The Northern Valley Adult Softball League registration is now open. This is a co-ed slow pitch softball league for those over 30 years old.
