Weekend Update – Labor Day Edition
Dear Resident,
In last week’s update, I was reviewing the tropical storm that had passed and noted that Marlboro’s OEM was monitoring tropical storms in the Atlantic. This week, Wednesday night into Thursday, one of those storms, the remnants of Hurricane Ida, passed through our area. While there were some localized incidents of fallen trees and flooding, overall Marlboro fared well. Storm Alerts sent via email before, during and after storms, can be found HERE. Please take a moment to ensure that you and your family are prepared to act fast in times of emergency.
Labor Day Hours - Marlboro Town Hall and the Recycling Center will be CLOSED on Monday, September 6 in observance of Labor Day. The Marlboro Farmers Market will be open on Sunday, September 5 from 9am to noon. Please note the earlier market close due to the holiday weekend.
TOWNSHIP EVENTS
