Pennsauken’s Municipal Tax Portion Remains Flat For Sixth Straight Year
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
Each year, property taxes – based on the assessed value of a resident’s home – are used in a variety of ways in the community. Broken down into several sections, these taxes are used to pay for county services, school funding, trash and recycling collection, and municipal operations. These last two items are the responsibility of Pennsauken Township’s local government; and for the past several years, the town’s administration and the Township Committee have worked to maintain a fiscally responsible budget.
PSE&G Project To Impact River Road In Pennsauken
Freeholder Susan Shin Angulo, liaison to the Camden County Department of Public Works, has been notified by the Public Service Electric and Gas Company (PSE&G) that crews will begin a service replacement project on River Road (CR543) from Lennox Road and Griffith Morgan Lane in Pennsauken on Monday, April 9.
“Please allow yourself extra time to reach your destination if your route includes this section of River Road in Pennsauken,” Shin Angulo said. “This project will not close the roadway but will utilize alternating traffic patterns which may slow commutes and cause some additional congestion. Motorists should plan for these changes accordingly.”
The project is expected to last for three days. Scheduling and project timing is dependent on weather and may be adjusted due to unforeseen events.
