Lagay Selected Deputy Director

Calling on County officials and staff to be creative in seeking more tax saving shared services opportunities in Hunterdon County, veteran Freeholder Matthew Holt was elected Director of the Hunterdon Freeholder Board, at the annual Re-organization meeting on January 2
nd
at the Historic Courthouse in Flemington.
Freeholder Suzanne Lagay who served as Director in 2016, was elected by her colleagues as Deputy Director for 2018. Lagay and Holt join new Freeholder Shaun Van Doren and Freeholders John Lanza and John King, both former Freeholder Directors, on the five member Board.
In remarks after his swearing in as Director, Holt stated, “Hunterdon County has lead the way when it comes to sharing services that accrue to the benefit of taxpayers. The recent county jail consolidation with Somerset County that has saved millions in tax dollars is a prime example of shared services that work. And I believe more can be done.
