Unfortunately, it does not appear that an applicant from that township is available for consideration.The PRC has discussed this vacancy, and recommends that the following applicant be appointed to the Council: • Jennifer Moore, to the Cedar Grove Township position (position #3) Although Ms. Moore is from Hillsborough Township, the PRC chose to recommend her for several reasons. The position has been vacant for over a year as the board has worked to recruit someone from Cedar Grove Township. Additionally, Ms. Moore is African-American and will provide the board with increased diversity. Thank you for your consideration of this appointment.
