Dunn hosts meeting connecting municipal leaders to state resources

By West Morris Reporter

Assemblywoman Aura Dunn brought together municipal leaders from Legislative District 25 and representatives from multiple state agencies at her district office in Morristown for what has become an annual tradition of relationship-building and problem-solving.

“What began as a way to finally bring people together in person to discuss challenges and opportunities after Covid has evolved into an annual tradition, because getting everyone in the same room is often the best way to form professional relationships and solve problems,” said Dunn, R-Morris.

Officials from Boonton Township, Harding, Jefferson, Madison, Mendham Borough, Morris Township, Mount Arlington, Randolph, Rockaway Township, Victory Gardens and Wharton met with representatives from the Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Community Affairs, Department of Labor, Department of Environmental Protection and the state Economic Development Authority. Topics included affordable housing, small business loan and grant opportunities, veteran benefits and other state resources.

“This meeting is a very proactive session,” Dunn said. “It breaks down barriers, erases party lines, and shines a spotlight on the issues municipal leaders are facing in the upcoming year. Every town I represent is unique; no challenge is exactly the same.”
