Lawrence Township Budget to be Revealed Tonight

Last week Gov. Chris Christie presented his proposed budget for the next fiscal year to the state Legislature and his office revealed that all municipalities – including Lawrence Township – would receive the same amount of state aid as the past year.

Armed with the state’s aid figures, Lawrence Township Manager Richard Krawczun will present his proposed 2011 budget to township council members at their meeting tonight, Tuesday, March 1, which will begin at 7 o’clock in the council chambers at the Municipal Building at 2207 Lawrence Rd.

The agenda for tonight’s meeting can be downloaded from the township’s website. Also available for download is a memo written by Krawczun providing information about five ordinances scheduled to be introduced at the meeting, as well as details about some of the 10 resolutions on the agenda and the anticipated awarding of a bid covering rehabilitation work to be done on an affordable housing unit.
