The city will communicate with landscapers on business licensing requirements, regulatory updates, and amendments to ordinances such as the recently passed pilot program banning gas powered blowers, they said.

“It is a goal for Common Council to increase the ability of the city to communicate with local businesses on matters that will affect them,” said Council President Marjorie Fox. “The registration process is simple and requires only basic contact information. I encourage landscaping companies to register to receive updates on important changes and requirements.”

An application form is available online from the Office of the City Clerk here or by calling 908-273-6400. Registration is voluntary and no fee is required.
