Linden honors Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery for long history and community donations
Summary
Council presented a resolution praising Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery—s 100+ year presence in Linden, noting the refinery—s local employment and charitable contributions; the resolution will be entered into council minutes and a copy delivered to the refinery.
The Linden City Council read and approved a resolution recognizing Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery for its long history in the city and its financial and volunteer contributions to local programs. Speakers said the refinery first began as a Standard Oil site more than a century ago, employed approximately 700 people and donated to police, fire, library and recreation programs.
A speaker introduced the resolution and noted the company—s civic engagement and tax contributions. "They're always volunteering, always donating to worthwhile causes," one speaker said during remarks recognizing the company as "our largest taxpayer." The resolution text recited historical dates and credited Phillips 66 Bayway Refinery as an important economic asset to Linden and the region. The council said a copy of the resolution would be spread on the minutes and presented to the refinery's leadership.
The recognition was ceremonial; no ordinance or funding action accompanied the resolution. The presentation also included an invitation for refinery representatives to join city leaders at the podium; remarks highlighted ongoing donations such as ice-cream donations to day camps and park support.
