Daniel H. Pronti was first elected Mayor of North Arlington in 2018.  He was previously elected to the Borough Council three times by the voters of North Arlington.  During his tenure in local government, Dan has focused on ensuring that North Arlington is not surpassed by neighboring communities, as it has been in the past.  He is an advocate for strong youth and senior programs.  He has made it a priority to help local businesses succeed.  Every North Arlington sports field has, under his direction, been refurbished and transformed into the best facilities in the area. Mayor Pronti continues to work with residents, investors, and outside agencies to continue implementing programs that benefit our community.  He has a strong vision for North Arlington, which he continues to meet.

Mayor Pronti was re-elected in 2022 and has continued the North Arlington Renaissance.  Areas of town that were becoming outdated, vacant, and blighted have been redeveloped and are attracting new businesses and developers to the area.

 

The safety of our residents is always a priority, and many roadway enhancements have already been implemented, such as all-way stop intersections, speed calming systems, and pedestrian upgrades.  The safety initiative continues with weekly meetings involving essential personnel to continue making North Arlington better, day by day.  

 

His current term of office expires December 31, 2026.
