First Responders Sharing The Importance Of Service To Community
By Vince Martinez, Mayor of Pennsauken
Last month, Pennsauken’s first responders held both a Junior Police Academy and a Junior Fire Academy. Each summer, young people receive an up close look at the roles of these dedicated men and women in a fun and educational environment. Both academies are extremely well attended, and our police officers, firefighters, and EMTs do an amazing job. We can’t thank them enough for what they do to make these programs possible.

Mayor Killion’s Township Update: 10/2/2020
Pennsauken Mayor Tim Killion provides his weekly Township Update.
Honored, Blessed, And Excited
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
I am honored to be serving the Pennsauken community as mayor for the remainder of the year and I hereby pledge to do my very best. I’d like to take this opportunity to once again thank former mayor Jack Killion for his 19 years of service as a member of Township Committee. You have created a wonderful legacy that will continue to shape our town for the better.
Thank You For Allowing Me To Serve This Great Community
By Jack Killion, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
Since 2000, I’ve had the distinct privilege of serving the Pennsauken community as a member of Township Committee. In that time, I’ve served as deputy mayor for six years and as mayor for seven years. To be honest, I’m not quite sure where all the time has gone. What I do know is that it is time to make a change.
Photo Contest To Capture Residents’ Perspective Of Pennsauken
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
When the Township redesigned its website a few years back, we not only wanted it to provide easy access for residents and business owners to find the information that they need, but also wanted to provide an online “snapshot” of our community for visitors who may be looking to live or start a business in Pennsauken.
The Start Of Summer And New Beginnings In Pennsauken
EDITOR’S NOTE: In the print edition of the paper, the date of the Community Service Office Hours hosted by Congressman Norcross’ staff was incorrect. The event will actually be held at the Library on Wednesday, June 21. The date is corrected in the article below. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The Summer Solstice on June 21 is traditionally celebrated as a “new beginning,” a time to start fresh. The month of June holds quite a few new beginnings for Pennsauken.
Sign, Sign, Everywhere A Sign…
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
I recently received a letter from a resident expressing concern over the number of “No Parking” signs along Haddonfield Rd. She correctly stated that no one parks along this busy four-lane County road. She also correctly stated that when a sign is so faded that you cannot read the words, it is no longer a sign.
She must’ve known that old signs, faded signs, dated signs, and too many signs are a pet peeve of mine.
The Township is 125 years old and we have many signs in our community that are aging. While we cannot replace every street sign in the Township this year, we can and should replace or remove directional or informational signs that no longer serve their intended purpose. Priority should be given to our major roads for curb appeal, but we should also address resident concerns in our neighborhoods.
Good Neighbors Making Great Communities
By Betsy McBride, Mayor of Pennsauken Township
I wanted to share my excitement. Our township, Pennsauken, and our sister Borough, Merchantville, are becoming a destination.
Yes, I said a destination. We cannot and should not separate from each other.
We are a destination for business. Since 2012 Pennsauken has seen some of the highest business growth in Camden County; in that span, businesses have invested well over $100 million in our community through redevelopment and construction projects. This year alone, Pennsauken welcomed Bayada’s international headquarters, located on Haddonfield Rd.
