EDISON, NJ — Edison Township has closed all council meetings to the public, until further notice.

“Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, no members of the public shall be permitted to physically attend the meeting. The public, however, is invited to attend the meeting electronically,” municipal clerk Cheryl Russomanno said in a public message.

Much like other New Jersey towns, Edison is seeing a spike in COVID-19 cases. A few meetings in December have also been rescheduled.
