EDITOR: As one of 22 residents of The Hills development who the mayor and Township Committee have chosen to serve on Bedminster boards – Land Use, Board of Health, Environmental Commission, etc. – and past and present board member of community associations at The Hills, I am in a unique position to attest to the relationship between the neighborhood associations and local government.
Our current Township Committee has been very responsive to the needs of The Hills’ various neighborhoods and the two Republican candidates are well suited to continue and improve that relationship.
Larry Jacobs, formally of the Fieldstone neighborhood, was instrumental in getting the Interstate Route 287/Rt. 206 off-ramp completed, finished the Hike and Bike Path connecting River Road and Burnt Mills Parks, and negotiated a rate freeze with the Environmental Disposal Corp. (EDC) when they were acquired by New Jersey American Water.
Renee Mareski, of Crestmont, and a past home owner association board member, has distinguished herself as chair of the Environmental Commission where she initiated the very popular farmer’s market and joint educational/outreach programs with the Bedminster School.
Larry and Renee are accomplished leaders, will continue to keep your property taxes the lowest in Somerset County and preserve our quality of life so Bedminster can continue to be the wonderful township we all cherish.
I submit this letter as a resident of the township of Bedminster and not in my capacity as board member of any community association at The Hills. The opinions offered are my personal opinions and do not reflect the position of the governing board of any community association at The Hills.
