Mayor’s Column: Voorhees reaches out to residents through multiple venues
In an ongoing effort to share information and become more accessible, Voorhees Township continues to use multiple vehicles to reach our residents.
Our new and improved municipal website at www.voorheesnj.com has been expanded and is the best source to become informed about our community. It is much more user-friendly with additional content and expanded links. Use the website to pay your taxes or get a copy of your birth certificate. Meeting agendas and minutes from Township Committee and other Township Boards are posted and there is a link to view Committee meetings.
For our esteemed Veterans, there is a link providing information about local benefits, local organizations and honors.
Local businesses are listed by category and links to their websites are available to allow a direct connection. You can still sign up for the Shop Voorhees program on our webpage.
The website also includes an area for suggestions and comments as well as a bulletin board that allows community information to be shared.
Be sure to like our Facebook page which is updated daily. Local happenings and events with pictures around town are shared. The Shop Voorhees Business of the Month deals and coupons are also shared on our Facebook page. In addition, pictures and descriptions of all of our municipal parks are viewable in an album. If you are looking for something to do around town this weekend, start with our Facebook page. The page also provides information that is disseminated by Nixle.
The Nixle system allows our police to provide information about local traffic alerts, amber alerts, road closures and other police activities. It also circulates Township information such as community activities and events. Registered users receive up-to-the-minute information by text message, email, or both. Sign up using the Nixle Quick Link on our website or by visiting www.nixle.com. When signing up you can select the type of alerts you would like to receive as well as the coverage location of those alerts.
Also, in an ongoing effort to keep our community safe, share information, and become more accessible, the Voorhees Township Police Department recently introduced a new website at www.vtpd.com. Check it out!
