Overall incidents of crime in Rahway dropped by 14 percent from 2012 to 2013, including an 11-percent decline in nonviolent crime and 38 percent in violent crime, according to the latest Uniform Crime Report (UCR) released last week by the State Police.
After more than six years, it was time for a facelift for Rahway Rising. I hope you like the new design, with a shift from a Blogger platform to WordPress. There’s still some tweaking and upgrading to be done as we get more acquainted with the new platform so you may see some more subtle changes over the coming weeks. Bear with me if there are any hiccups, particularly if you subscribe by email or follow on Facebook.
The changes will be strictly in design. Content still will focus on providing information related to redevelopment in Rahway. The site’s most basic mission — to inform citizens — has not and will not change.
Thanks especially to Clea Carchia of Rahway-based Chameleon Design House, who designed, among other things, the snappy new logo you’ve seen as well as that sharp-looking header at the top of our home page.
