- Meeting Overview:
At a recent Delran public meeting, the most significant event was the honoring of Sergeant Bruce Stowers with a special proclamation for his service to the United States and the local community. The proclamation, read by Mayor Gary Catrambone, recognized Stowers’ military service, which began in 1975 with his enlistment in the United States Air Force and continued with his work in law enforcement, retiring after 25 years. In addition to his formal duties, Stowers has been involved in community service, including assistance to children from African countries in Mercer County and involvement in various charitable organizations.
Following the tribute to Sergeant Stowers, the council introduced and passed an ordinance approving the sale of property to the Salt and Light Company, Inc.
The meeting also addressed the upcoming community events and initiatives. The Green Team announced a “Love Your Park” campaign, which includes cleanups at local parks, and the installation of a memorial tree project. Additionally, the Delran Emergency Squad provided updates on their operations, noting that calls were slightly lower than expected for the month, and they are looking forward to participating in the upcoming Easter egg hunt.
Mayor Catrambone also shared updates on local issues, including legislation aimed at addressing the disturbance caused by ‘boom cars’ and the progress of the Stewart Avenue project, which is moving into the utility work phase.
Council members took the opportunity to echo the commendations for Sergeant Stowers, express safety reminders for the community with the longer daylight hours, and celebrate local achievements such as the accomplishment of a Delran resident achieving the rank of Eagle Scout.
