Medford Township is offering businesses and residents an opportunity to sponsor new banners for Main Street. This project originated with the Woman’s Club of Medford in 2015. Now, after eight years of proudly being displayed, it’s time to replace them. Each banner will include the name of the sponsor and will be attached to the light poles along Main Street. The new banners will be displayed beginning in September. For information visit the township’s Facebook page or contact the Clerk’s Office at (609) 654-2608 ext. 330.
