Hello NP! Thank you for taking the time to read my statement. As many of you know I am in my second- three year term on the NP BOE. It has been quite an experience serving the community in this role, first as a new board member and then during the pandemic. As a new board member, you have to be ...
As a lifelong resident of the borough of New Providence, it's always nice to see a familiar face. My mother moved to New Providence in 1960, and stayed here until she passed away in 2019. I was born and raised in town, and once ready to branch out on my own, I bought a house in town where I now ...
