Mayor, Deputy Mayor To Discuss Environment In Meet And Greet

MOORESTOWN, NJ — The New Jersey League of Conservation Voters (New Jersey LCV) and Pinelands Preservation Alliance (PPA) will sponsor a Meet-and-Greet with Moorestown Mayor Lisa Petriello and Deputy Mayor Nicole Gillespie on Thursday, June 27, 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Moorestown Community House.

During the session, they will discuss what steps the township is taking to address environmental topics, including stormwater management and flooding. The event is free and is open to all residents and to the public.

“The recent heavy rainfall and flooding that we’ve experienced has made it clear that communities including Moorestown have significant stormwater management issues that we need to deal with,” Petriello said. “We’re looking forward to a productive discussion with community members and appreciate the New Jersey LCV and PPA for hosting this event.”

“Given Moorestown’s history with drinking water contamination, our desire to protect and preserve Strawbridge Lake, and the property damage that flooding is causing in our town, managing stormwater runoff and ensuring water quality are top priorities for me,” Gillespie said. “We look forward to meeting with constituents to understand how we can best work together to make progress on these issues.”

The Community House of Moorestown is located at 16 East Main Street, Moorestown, NJ 08057. Refreshments will be served. Participants are asked to RSVP at http://bit.ly/MoorestownStormwater.
