Jason has already taken the initiative to assist with several of the events that Bridgewater continues to offer residents and the public.

Finally, Michael and Lisa Blackburn are the owners of CinnaRoasted Almonds. Cinnamon Roasted Almonds are an age old snack thought to have been originated by Bavarian Germans in the middle ages. The recipe contained only three simple yet perfect ingredients. That is why CinnaRoasted decided long ago to stick to that delicious medley of cinnamon, sugar and vanilla.

The Bridgewater Community Development Corporation is dedicated to renewing and sustaining its central business district and its nearby residential areas. Through its development committee, in cooperation with the community at large, the BCDC seeks to revitalize its business areas by utilitzing the Main Street Approach for downtown revitalization.
