Catch up on what happened this week in Shamong.
What can Shamong Township expect in 2019?
Mayor Michael Di Croce discussed hopes for tax reductions, the manufacturing of marijuana, cell towers and more.
“My goal is to see if we can reduce taxes two years in a row, [it’s] never been done,” Di Croce said.
Di Croce said his goal to reduce taxes goes hand-in-hand with the rural feel Shamong is known for. He said since residents pay taxes, but don’t get a lot in terms of sewage, being required to pay for trash pick up, having volunteer fire and ems and state police — he wants to provide them with legislative freedom in return.
