The council approved a resolution authorizing a redevelopment agreement with the Cornerstone Group, which will focus on several lots within the borough. Additionally, the council authorized going out to bid for several water and sewer construction materials, including cranes, trucks, and water meters. This move aims to ensure that the borough’s infrastructure remains robust and capable of supporting ongoing and future community needs.

A particularly noteworthy point was the Water and Sewer Department’s current employment challenge, as it seeks to fill a significant vacancy left by the departure of a treatment plant manager. This position requires specific certifications.

Various construction and redevelopment updates were shared, including the ongoing townhouse projects on Camelot and High Street, which are progressing steadily. The council also discussed the anticipated completion of a storage building on Delsea Drive and updates on the Demountable Concepts project on Leo McCay Boulevard, which is now moving forward with building permits. These developments are part of a broader effort to enhance the borough’s urban landscape and infrastructure.

The borough has been issuing warnings and formal notices to landlords of properties that generate multiple complaints, with a strategy in place to potentially revoke licenses if issues persist.

In other updates, the council celebrated the success of the recent park and recreation golf fundraiser, which raised over $16,000, and the police department’s “Pause for a Cause” event, both of which were well-received by the community.
