Tonight, Cherry Hill residents are invited to a set of informational meetings meant to shed some light on the process of studying a potential consolidation effort between Cherry Hill Township and Merchantville Borough.
The meetings, to be held at 7 and 8 p.m. in the Carman Tilelli Community Center, 820 Mercer St., will introduce the community to the five-member commission appointed by Mayor Bernie Platt to lead a formal evaluation of the potential pros and cons of merging the two communities.
Platt’s commission includes Roger Dennis, dean of Drexel University Law, Tom Yarnall, a member of the Cherry Hill reform committee, a civic action group, board of education president Seth Klukoff and township business liaison Natalie Barney will also participate on Cherry Hill’s commission, Township spokesman Dan Keashen said.
