Dear Manchester Township Residents,
As we approach the Holiday season, may I wish each and every
resident a joyous and healthy holiday and best wishes for the new
year, 2018.
The “Manchester Citizen” newsletter is published once a year
and it is produced at no cost to Manchester taxpayers. We thank
the advertisers who make this publication possible and ask that
our residents support these businesses and professionals whenever
possible.
We are happy to announce the purchase of a new ladder truck for Manchester Fire
Company. A pumper truck for Ridgeway Fire Company was acquired in large part with
grant funding in 2017. We will order a pumper truck for Whiting Fire Company and
expect to receive it during 2018. Maintaining a capital improvement fund to systematically
replace needed equipment is part of our “pay as you go” plan. We continue our schedule
to re-pave township roads, upgrade our parks, and more, while our local tax levy decreased
slightly this year – a small step – but a step in the right direction.
Included in this 2018 Manchester Citizen, you will find information on town council
meetings, vital statistics and records, municipal services, recycling and bulk pick-up
schedules, recreation programs and activities, as well as contact information for Manchester
and Ocean County offices.
I hope you find the enclosed information helpful. Please keep this newsletter handy as
it contains information you may find useful throughout the year. The Manchester Citizen
newsletter may also be accessed on the Township website at www.ManchesterTwp.com.
Best regards,
Kenneth T. Palmer, Mayor, Manchester Township
