Mayor Killion Provides Latest Update On The Coronavirus In Pennsauken
In a video post earlier today, Pennsauken Mayor Tim Killion provided the latest update on the COVID-19 outbreak, announcing that five new cases were found in town, bringing the total to 40 so far.
“These new cases drive home how important it is to maintain social
distancing, to frequently wash your hands, and to stay at home,” said Killion. “Social spread of this virus is a real thing. We need to take it seriously.”
The Township continues to use technology to reach its residents. Killion spoke how this month’s Committee meetings will be held online.
“Both of the Township Committee meetings this month will be held using Zoom, an online video conferencing platform. The public can access and participate in the meeting by using links found on the main page of Pennsauken Township’s website, as well as our Facebook page,” explained Killion. “Anyone from the public wishing to speak will be permitted to do so during public participation.”
Killion also mentioned that Pennsauken Township has begun providing additional services to help residents begin to move forward.
“Completed residential and commercial permits can be deposited in a container, located at the side of the building under the awning. The container will be available Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.,” said Killion. “When the Township Building reopens, we will begin contacting individuals, letting them know that their permits are ready.”
He also spoke to residents about property taxes.
“While we’re looking to see if Governor Murphy provides an extension, right now, quarterly taxes are still due on May 1. There is a 10-day grace period, but penalties will occur anytime past that. Pennsauken’s Tax Office has a drop box outside of the Township’s Municipal Building for the use of residents.
“Pennsauken residents and business owners now have an online option to pay their property taxes. By visiting our website, you can access your tax information using a variety of search categories. You can view tax rates, your current bill, project interest, and most importantly, make an electronic payment.”
