The Board of Fire Commissioners for South Brunswick Township Fire District No. 2 adopted their 2022 budget for the fire district, with voter approval being sought at the fire district election on Feb. 19.
The 2022 budget calls for the same tax rate as realized in 2021, meaning no increase for taxpayers this year, Fire District Coordinator Scott Smith said.
Fire District 2, which is protected by the Monmouth Junction Volunteer Fire Department, covers the Monmouth Junction, Dayton and Deans sections of the township.
