MESSAGE FROM MAYOR TAMBURRO:

Special thanks to our Municipal Clerk and her team for all of their hard work on the 2020 election.  Thanks to our Library Director and her staff for hosting the municipal ballot drop box and the County voter information center.

Congratulations to all candidates who emerged victorious in VOTE 2020.  Let’s all work together for the betterment of our country, our state and our Township.

Please remember that we are still in the middle of a national pandemic and numbers of positive cases are climbing everywhere.  The second wave of coronavirus is here.

I can’t stress enough how important it is to wear masks, maintain 6 ft of social distance and wash hands regularly.  Adhere to CDC and NJDOH guidelines, avoid indoor gatherings and get your flu shot.
