Township businesses are once again approved to continue outdoor dining subject to the Township’s safety conditions. The Township Committee introduced the 2022 Municipal Budget. The proposed budget sets the municipal tax portion of property owner’s taxes to $.57 per $100 of assessed value. For the average Township home, the municipal portion of your tax bill will be $1,432.50. A public hearing on the budget will be held at the April 25, 2022 Township Committee meeting. It will be held in person in the Meeting Room/Courtroom of the Municipal Building, 1 Municipal Drive. At this time, tax payers and other interested parties can comment on the budget. Budget documents have been posted to the website. March was also proclaimed as Women’s History Month. |
