HOPEWELL VALLEY: Municipal consolidation forum slated Wednesday

The program will be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 95 and Verizon Channel 30

   Marc Pfeiffer, a former municipal administrator who now serves as deputy director of the Division of Local Government Services for the state, will explore the topic of municipal consolidation Wednesday, March 10, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Hopewell Township Municipal Building, 201 Pennington-Washington Crossing Road, Titusville.
   Sponsored by the Hopewell Valley League of Women Voters, the program is free and open to the public.
   The three mayors from Hopewell Township and Pennington and Hopewell boroughs also will weigh in on this “sometimes controversial subject,” a League spokeswoman said.
   In his official capacity, Mr. Pfeiffer helps to ensure the fiscal integrity of municipal government and provide technical assistance and policy advice.
   There will be time allocated during the program for questions from the public.
   The program will be broadcast live on Comcast Channel 95 and Verizon Channel 30. It will be rebroadcast on those same channels Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays at 5:30 p.m. from March 11-28.
