Council issues in changes to speed limits, flood zones
Moorestown Township Council convened on Monday, Nov. 27, to adopt three ordinances making changes to athletic facilities, speed limits and flood zones. The brief meeting was all business on council’s end, with each ordinance and resolution passing in rapid, unanimous succession with little to no comment from council.
‘More than just a number’
This fall, Sundari Parise earned a perfect ACT composite score of 36. According to a release from the Moorestown school district, on average, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score. For the self-deprecating Parise, earning a perfect score is a proud accomplishment, but she’s shied away from the praise it’s earned her. “You’re more than just a number,” Parise said modestly.
MooreUnity information session gets residents talking about affordable housing misconceptions
A handful of people came together on Tuesday, Nov. 28, in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church to engage in a discussion about affordable housing. For those in attendance at the MooreUnity information session, the night centered around one theme — breaking down misconceptions. MooreUnity is a civic group whose vision statement is to “raise awareness of divisive forces in our community and promote inclusion by building bridges across those divides.” Lauren Jones, a member of MooreUnity, kicked off the discussion by thanking those in attendance for wanting to learn more about affordable housing.
