Remembering September 11, 2001 - Twenty-Five Years Later - Town of Westfield

09/10/2026

Please join us on Friday for our community gathering to observe the 25th anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks at the 9/11 memorial site on North Avenue at East Broad Street.

The ceremony will begin at 8:30 AM, and will include prayers of commemoration by members of the local clergy, followed by the presentation of the ceremonial wreath by an honor guard, and the playing of “Taps.” Each year, the ceremony concludes with the reading of the names of the Westfield residents we lost that day, and a period of silent reflection. The ceremony will be held rain or shine.

Town Administrator Jim Gildea recently celebrated 25 years in this role, an extraordinary accomplishment and only part of his long history of service to Westfield.

Jim is truly a son of Westfield. He grew up here, graduated from Westfield High School, and began his municipal career as a lifeguard at Memorial Pool in 1988. From there, he held several positions in the Recreation Department before being appointed Assistant Town Administrator and ultimately assuming his current role as Town Administrator in 2001.

Over the past 25 years, Jim has been a constant through changing administrations, countless projects, requests, emergencies, celebrations, and nearly every municipal issue imaginable. His institutional knowledge is unmatched, but even more important is how deeply he knows and cares about this town and the people who live and work here. For so many of us, Jim is quite simply synonymous with Town Hall.

His expertise and leadership are also recognized well beyond Westfield. Jim is highly regarded by his peers throughout New Jersey and is widely considered among the very best municipal administrators in the state. We are incredibly fortunate to have his level of experience, professionalism, and unwavering commitment to our residents.

Please join us in congratulating Jim on this remarkable milestone and thanking him for his many contributions to Westfield. Here’s to 25 years as Town Administrator, and to the important work still ahead!
