Sustainable Jersey Annual Luncheon 2024

On November 19th at the League of Municipalities Conference in Atlantic City, Hillsborough Township officials and staff attended the annual Sustainable Jersey Luncheon to celebrate our 13th overall certification and our 10th straight Silver Certification.

At the luncheon, Hillsborough received the Large Group Champion Award. This award is given to the municipality that has the highest number of points in their population category.

Hillsborough also received the distinguised Health Gold Star for our outstanding efforts to improve the health and wellbeing of our residents, particularly Hillsborough's Local Health Assessment and Action Plan.

After months of promoting the Local Health survey, gathering data, and analyzing the results, the Hillsborough Health Collaborative has put together a first draft of the Hillsborough Health Action Plan. This action plan will address health-related issues survey respondents identified as high priority. Click the graphic above to see the full plan.

Arts in the Parks

The Sustainable Hillsborough Steering Committee created Arts in the Parks program with the help of a T-Mobile Hometown Grant in 2023. The goal of the program is to bring creativity and color to Hillsborough's parks in unexpected ways. The first project involved painting the sidewalks at Ann Van Middlesworth Park. You can view some of the photos below or drop by the park to enjoy the art!

Hillsborough Township Now has Our Very Own Electric Vehicle Charger!

On August 3rd, 2022, Hillsborough Township Mayor Shawn Lipani cut the ribbon on a new electric vehicle (EV) charging station. Located at the Municipal Complex, the charging station was installed thanks to the “It Pay$ to Plug In Electric Vehicle Charging Grants Program” grant that was awarded to the township in the amount of $8,000. The two port Level 2 EV charging station by ChargePoint is located at the front (main) parking lot at the Municipal Complex that is marked exclusively for that purpose.

The rate for charging electric vehicles at the Municipal Building is $1.50 per hour for the first three hours with no fee for parking. After 3 hours, the charge will be $1.50 per hour for charging and a $5 fee for parking.
