Ewing Launches "Choose Ewing" Online Business Directory
Let’s Choose Ewing and Grow Together!
Mayor Bert H. Steinmann is excited to announce the launch of Ewing Township's "Choose Ewing" initiative and a brand-new online business directory!

When we support local, we’re not just helping businesses thrive—we’re also boosting Ewing’s economy, creating jobs, and enhancing our overall quality of life.
"Choose Ewing" is designed to make it easier for everyone who lives, works, and plays in Ewing to explore all the great shopping, dining, and service options our town has to offer. To make that happen, we’re building a comprehensive directory of local retailers, restaurants, service providers, venues, and more—so it’s simple to find just the right business for every need.
Are you a local business owner? Just fill out our free “Register Your Ewing Business” form to be included in the directory. It’s one more way we’re working to build a stronger, more connected Ewing by partnering with the businesses that make our town unique.

Exciting Park Improvements Planned – We Want Your Input!
Ewing Township is applying for a $4.63 million grant through the National Park Service’s Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program to fund major improvements to LiMato Field and the Municipal Complex Soccer Fields.
The project consists of the conversion of the existing grass football field with synthetic turf at John S Watson Park and the conversion of the two (2) existing grass soccer fields to two (2) synthetic turf soccer fields at the Municipal Complex Park. Improvements consist of the installation of a synthetic turf field with underdrain system, installation of bleachers, soccer nets, scoreboards and drainage improvements. Additionally, green infrastructure and native plants will be added to the fields to promote biodiversity.
Over the next several years, the Township has set out on transforming the landscape of their parks and recreational facilities for the future. This project will be one of the first steps in providing sustainable land development for some of the most frequently used facilities in the area. Therefore, the Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership grant is essential for ensuring that these improvements will be effective for a long period of time. (National Park Service Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Grant Application Letter)
As part of the grant process, we are committed to engaging the community every step of the way. There will be multiple opportunities for residents to view project plans, share feedback, and ask questions in the coming months. Your input will help shape the final design and ensure these upgrades best serve our community’s needs.
Stay tuned for upcoming public meetings and other ways to get involved. Send us your comments.
