The closure will remain in effect through March 29, at which time the situation will be reevaluated. All essential Township operations – including police and public works, will continue functioning. Emergency services will continue. Trash and recycling will continue to be collected.

- In an effort to limit group activity, all Township playgrounds and recreational fields will be closed to the public. Parks and trails will remain open, but we encourage you to practice social distancing. We will not be monitoring playgrounds, so we ask for your cooperation in adhering to the closure. Please do NOT call police if you see people at a playground.

We will be reviewing all scheduled public meetings, including Township Council, to determine whether they are necessary for the continuation of governmental operations.
Township leadership staff, including our Chiefs of Police and Fire, have been meeting regularly to address and respond to the latest guidance for our community. The Township maintains an Emergency Operations Plan to ensure our ability to continue essential services to our residents, as well as support State and local health efforts.
We ask for your cooperation, as we do our best to continue non-essential operations in a more limited capacity.
