Projects

Community input is an essential ingredient to helping identify types of businesses that could thrive in a specific area—whether that’s restaurants, retail, personal or professional services, entertainment, or larger employers. Downtown Morris Plains would love YOUR help shaping the future of our town’s business landscape.

"Tracks Through Time" Morris Plains TRANSITional Art Project will celebrate movement, history, and human connection

We are excited to announce that Morris Plains has been selected as the location for NJ TRANSIT’s 2026 TRANSITional Art Project.

Now it’s even easier to bike to Morris Plains businesses! Three new original, artistic bike racks on Speedwell Avenue show the incredible power of collaboration. In 2024, Downtown Morris Plains launched a public bike rack design contest.

You asked... so we built it. Introducing our new mobile-friendly, filterable, business directory to help you easily find the businesses you need and continue to shop local, right here in Morris Plains!

We are thrilled to share that Downtown Morris Plains has been named as a 2024 Morris Arts Special Project Support grant recipient! The grant will help fund our bike parking design contest and installation, an exciting project blending the arts and accessibility in our downtown.

Speedwell, aka "Speedy", is an ongoing community art project made up of painted rocks from individuals, businesses, and organizations. Check him out in the alley between Mark Perrone's Barber Shop and Taylor's Consignment and add your stone.
