A letter to residents from Mayor NorthThe issue of town consolidation has been a part of New Jersey municipal culture for as long as anyone can remember. It has been forty years since the last merger of two municipalities in this State (Vineland Borough and Landis Township in 1954).

The borough has sought to pool resources with its neighbors for years. Mayor North is reviewing the numbers and plans make a decision about the contract by the end of the summer.
