Van Doren:
State Should Follow Hunterdon County Strategy When
Salting Roadways
|
|
Hunterdon County Freeholder Shaun Van Doren joined with other public officials raising concerns over the seemingly excessive salting of roadways by the state when weather predictions do not warrant it, and suggested the state should follow Hunterdon County’s example of efficient, strategic response to winter weather.
Freeholder Van Doren, the Board’s liaison to the Department of Engineering and Public Works, stated, “The state’s salting or brining roadways when the weather does not call for it, ‘just in case,’ is detrimental to the environment and the life of roadways, negatively impacts on vehicles, and is a waste of tax dollars.”
Van Doren, during remarks at the March 19
th
Hunterdon County Freeholder Board meeting, noted, “Hunterdon County’s strategic storm prep and response measures have evolved from years of experience ensuring that winter weather is dealt with in the proper manner to protect the public, while not wasting tax dollars.”

County Library Annual Report Shows Great Strides, Citing Record Visitors, Increased Hours And Tech Upgrades
|
|
The Hunterdon County Library published its 2018 Annual Report, citing a very impressive and successful year with half a million visitors, eighteen thousand program attendees, and offering residents twenty-seven thousand new books, movies, periodicals for lending.
Freeholder Director Suzanne Lagay, liaison to the Library Commission said, “Our libraries today are much more than a place to check-out books. They serve as community centers showing popular current films, holding discussion groups and concerts, offering a creative array of children’s and family programs throughout the calendar year. Need WIFI? It’s available. Need up-to-date electronics? They’re there too.”
Lagay added, “Perhaps the most significant event of 2018 was the hiring of our new Library Director James Keehbler, whose resume includes President of the New Jersey Library Association and being recognized as New Jersey Librarian of the Year. 2018 saw plans finalized to move the South County Branch back to East Amwell, a move has that increased attendance 22%, confirming that the right decisions were made and executed.”
