TONIGHT: Pennsauken Residents Can Submit Longfellow Survey In Person

To participate in this survey, you must be a current Pennsauken resident, 18 years of age or older. For those voting no, the District is asking respondents to suggest an alternative to the proposed park in order for your “no vote” to count.
The results from the survey are ONLY being used to determine what will be occurring at the Longfellow property. The information provided WILL NOT be used for any other purpose.
