Jim Cahill, Our Mayor

As Mayor, I am offering this website as the “key” to the City to use to connect with all the great amenities this City has to offer. New Brunswick, being diverse, also known as “The Hub City” and “The Healthcare City,” allows paths to cross, paths to be traveled, and gives purpose to the individuals coming and going.
