Mayor Michael Powers wants to meet with township residents, and he plans to hold the third in a series of Meet the Mayor sessions Friday at Amalfi’s restaurant at 146 Lawrenceville-Pennington Road.
Mayor Powers and Municipal Manager Richard Krawczun will be available to answer questions and seek comment from township residents at the restaurant between 5:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Powers said residents are encouraged to bring up any matter that concerns them.
When he served as mayor in 2006, Mayor Powers said, he took Township Council “on the road” and held meetings at the Lawrenceville, Lawrence Road and Slackwood firehouses. But it was still a little too formal for outreach, he said.
“This is a more informal effort. It’s an opportunity for people to ask questions in an informal setting, and it’s a way to promote local businesses,” he said of the Meet the Mayor series.
Previous Meet the Mayor sessions have taken place at Michael’s Restaurant on Brunswick Pike and at Candela’s Pizzeria and Restaurant on Lawn Park Avenue.
