Lost and Found:
As we are returning to summer, we are getting a lot more calls about items lost and found at Triangle Park. Items can be dropped off at the Borough Office during regular business hours (Mon-Thurs, 9AM-12PM).
The Future of Borough Hall:
You may have seen a lot of students around Borough Hall these past couple weeks as we hosted the Advanced Placement testing for Interboro Highschool. As the high school was unavailable due to construction, over 337 students attended testing in our hall over the two week span. Tests were hosted in the morning and afternoon across a variety of different subjects.
We continue to push towards creating an atmosphere of collaboration and community–we look forward to continued partnerships with our neighboring communities and getting the best out of our properties.
Sanitation Committee:
Next Yard Waste Collections are Monday, June 1st & June 15th
