The “Community Spotlight” feature on the Borough’s website has been updated, always see what’s happening on the Borough website!  

The latest “Community Spotlight” highlights the Borough’s continued efforts to utilize green renewable energy to reduce our carbon footprint and the use of fossil fuels.
