Mayor & Council
Watchung is a beautiful place to live and work. We have a rich history and a bright future. The Council and I are very proud to serve this community and we appreciate hearing from you. Please let us know your concerns and give us your suggestions.
There are many opportunities for local residents to get involved in volunteer activities. Please, if you have time available, volunteer for the local Fire Department or Rescue Squad. They desperately need members.
