Senior Housing Update: At the August 12 Township Committee meeting, Mr. Frank Olivo, an attorney for Steven Waszen Jr. asked the Township Committee Members to consider allowing some type of senior housing development on the property along the White Horse Pike in the Elwood Village Center. There was considerable discussion among the committee, and the residents in attendance. The main issues centered around preserving the rural nature of the community and the economic benefits this type of development could potentially bring to the Township. This matter will be explored further at future meetings. Please keep in mind that no decision has been made, nor has an application for such a development been made to the Planning Board. This is just a request made to gauge the receptiveness of the community to this type of development. The governing body will explore this issue fully, and further updates will be posted on our website.  

New Special Officer Appointed Township Committee appointed Antonio J. Lupinetti to the position of Special Class II Officer at its July 22 meeting.  Officer Lupinetti, a resident of the Sweetwater section of the Township, will begin his duties with the department on July 24th.  Congratulations Officer Lupinetti, and welcome.

Special Officer Christopher Silva Promoted to Patrolman:  At it's June 24th Meeting, Township Committee promoted part-time, Special Officer Silva to the position of full-time patrolman.  Officer Silva will fill the slot vacated with the resignation of officer Edward Fryling. Congratulation Chris!

Mary Hunt - 226 Township Committee introduced the 2008 Muncipal Budget at the March 11 Township Meeting. The introduced budget contains a tax increase of 8.8 cents, due to the 26% cut in State Aid. Mullica Township lost over $207,000 in funding, which represents approximately 7 cents on our tax rate. Township officials are currently identifying areas that will be targeted for budget cuts should the Governor's budget be approved by the legislature.
