Dear Neighbors,

Welcome to the latest edition of the Mount Laurel First E-News letter.

This is a short E-News letter but I thought it was important to notify you of next weeks Zoning Board meeting.  The issue of placing Billboards around Mount Laurel is one that will affect us for a long time if they are approved.  The Billboards require a variance and the Board should hear from the residents.  So PLEASE note the date and time.  Let your voices be heard.  Ask your neighbors to come to express their thoughts along with yours to the Board.

Mount Laurel Zoning Board:  Currently there are 4 applications before the Zoning Board for Billboards to be placed at various locations in Mount Laurel.  It is important that you take the time to attend the next meeting on Wednesday, November 5, 2008 at 7:30pm to voice your support or opposition for the installation of Billboards around the township.  The Zoning Board would like to hear from you.  The meeting is held in the Courtroom at the Municipal Building.
