Township Honors Jr. Raiders Varsity Team   

The Hillsborough Junior Raiders Varsity Team ended their regular season in first place of the Junior Skylands Football Conference with an undefeated record of 9 - 0.  Not only did they win the conference, the team also won the New Jersey Unlimited Weight Youth Football Association American Division State Championship.  Therefore, it was only fitting that the team be called upon to receive a proclamation from Hillsborough's Mayor and Township Committee in honor of their successful season.  This past Tuesday, the Court Room was bustling with players from both the Varsity and Junior Varsity Jr. Raider Teams.  Stay tuned to next week's e-news for the JV team.

Congratulations Team on a fantastic season!

Hillsborough Township's Website Redesigned

Municipal websites have become one of the most important tools for citizens to obtain information about municipalities, according to a Monmouth University Poll that was conducted last year on Best Practices for Municipal Websites.

"The Hillsborough Township's Municipal website has been redesigned in an effort to be more user-friendly and easier to navigate," stated Mayor Doug Tomson at Tuesday's Committee Meeting.  

The newly designed website boasts a streamlined navigation method for residents to easily utilize the many resources that can be found on the Township's website, particularly the most commonly requested website information.  Whether you are looking for information on a building permit, obtaining information for an upcoming Health and Wellness Clinic or checking on emergency information during a storm, the Township's website is the place to visit.
