Several more road meetings have been tentatively scheduled for autumn and will be announced in the near future.
It is important to meet county residents where they live and work, and to make it more convenient for residents and elected officials to have access to county government without having to come to Morristown,'' said Freeholder Director Doug Cabana.
The road meetings give local residents and officials an opportunity to raise regional issues of concern to the freeholders, so we can better understand and focus on these issues,'' said Deputy Freeholder Director John Cesaro.
