Municipal Consolidation Forum

Courage to Connect New Jersey, a non-partisan, grassroots organization, invites the public to attend a free forum which will offer an enlightening look at consolidating towns.

 The discussion will be hosted by Gina Genovese, a former mayor who now serves as executive director of Courage to Connect New Jersey.

In her presentation, Genovese said, she will stress the need for municipalities to maintain their own identity, yet become part of a larger municipality that shares a police department, a public works department, a tax office and other government functions that are now being duplicated from one town to the next, wasting millions of dollars annually.
