Environmental Commission

The Environmental Commission, created in 1998, consists of five members appointed by the Mayor. One member is also a member of the Joint Land Use Board. The Commission is responsible for: conducting research for the potential use of open land areas in the municipality; advertise, prepare, print, and distribute charts, plans, and pamphlets concerning environmental issues; maintain an index of all open areas publicly or privately owned in order to provide information on the proper use of such areas; make recommendations to the Joint Land Use Board plans and programs for inclusion in the municipal Master Plan; and, study and make recommendations regarding open space preservation, water resource management, air pollution control, solid waste management, noise control, soil and landscape protection, environmental appearance, resources and protection of flora and fauna.

The Commission Meetings are generally held on the last Thursday of each month (except as noted on schedule) at 6:30 pm in the meeting room of the Kenneth E. Street Community Center. You may contact them at (609) 267-2730, ext. 100 or via email.
