Counties' Group Comes To Hunterdon Calling For End To State’s Diversion Of Dedicated 9-1-1 Funds
Monies Are Not Used For Local 9-1-1 Costs As Promised
|
|
The New Jersey Association of Counties (NJAC) came to Hunterdon County’s 9-1-1 Communications Center on April 5th to kick off a renewed campaign aimed at stopping the state’s misuse of phone tax fees paid by all phone users that should be going for support of Emergency 9-1-1 operations in counties and towns.
Hunterdon Board of Commissioners Director John E. Lanza, in welcoming county leaders from around the state to the Cherryville Road command center in Franklin Township, stated, “We are honored that NJAC chose our 9-1-1 facility for this event. Hunterdon 9-1-1 was the very first county wide program in New Jersey when it was established in 1977.
It is our #1 shared service, in a county that prides itself on sharing services and reducing costs for our municipalities and taxpayers.”

Hunterdon Preparing Tourism Marketing Campaign
Unveils New Brand and Logo
‘Explore Hunterdon: The Other Side of Jersey’
The Choice of Tourism Stakeholders
|
|
A brand and logo that will distinguish Hunterdon County tourism from what is offered elsewhere in the state, ‘Explore Hunterdon: The Other Side of Jersey,’ was unveiled by the County’s Department of Economic Development and Tourism, at the April 5th Commissioners meeting, in preparation for the County tourism initiative’s launch this summer.
Board of Commissioners Director John E. Lanza, following a presentation by Thor Harris, CEO of Percepture, Inc., a world-wide digital marketing and public relations agency based in Hunterdon County, stated, “This brand is a bold approach that puts front and center that there’s something unique about Hunterdon County.
We know it. But we need to sell it to surrounding areas – we want to have tourism that supports the county’s economy, our restaurants, historic sites, river towns, museums, main street businesses, farmstands, wineries, and all that is available.”
