Council adopted Ordinance 26-16 to prohibit data centers in all zoning districts after public comment and council debate emphasizing borough character, environmental concerns and constituent email campaigns; ordinance passed on second reading.

Multiple residents asked the council to hold a public forum and present a comparative cost analysis and alternatives before moving forward with plans for affordable housing at 58 North Passaic Avenue, citing tree loss and transparency concerns.

After public comment and council debate, the Borough of Chatham Mayor and Council voted 5–1 on June 22 to direct borough professionals not to move forward with the Gateway 1 & 2 River Road redevelopment plan; the mayor said a new River Road application supplying affordable housing changed circumstances. The council also authorized a staff signatory for a housing consent order and renewed a liquor license.
