Monroe Township needs your input! The township is planning to apply to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s Green Acres program. Since 1961, Green Acres has protected well over a million and a half acres of open space and provided hundreds of outdoor recreational facilities in communities around the state.
To prepare for this application, we are asking that residents of Monroe Township complete this quick, one-minute survey to help us determine what kinds of recreation projects our residents think are necessary. Visit monroetownshipnj.org for more information.
This survey will remain open until Jan. 31.
Wednesday, Jan. 31
Special Township Council meeting at 6 p.m., 125 Virigina Ave.
Blood Drives
The American Red Cross blood supply has fallen to critically low levels, and we now face an emergency blood shortage. In recent weeks, we’ve had to limit our distributions of some of the most transfused blood types to hospitals. We need donors now, and in the weeks ahead, to help rebuild the blood supply.
