Among other accomplishments, Rochford noted his contributions toward renovations of the borough's library, the sale of its water utility and keeping the government running during the COVID-19 pandemic. The outgoing mayor also noted the purchase of the former Bancroft property, now the site of a pending redevelopment project, and "strides in meeting our affordable housing obligation." "I am also proud of the many Top 10 lists Haddonfield has achieved," he noted. The departing mayor expressed a hope that Haddonfield's tradition of nonpartisan elections "is not diminished by the strongly polarized political environment we are currently living in." Rochford, a Medicare insurance advisor who previously ran a family printing business for 28 years, was first elected to the three-member commission in May 2005.
