SPECIAL EVENT NEXT WEEK
Connect with Nature:
The Tourne Wildflower Trail Photo Exhibit
Nature’s bounty is alive and well and resides along the Wildflower Trail in Tourne Park located off McCaffrey Lane in Boonton Township. A well-kept secret and place of magic, the WFT, established in 1961, is a labor of love for the Rockaway Valley Garden Club who tends to the native plants there, keeps the trail paths accessible for visitors, and provides guided tours to community groups. Perhaps the most valuable gift of the WFT is its promise to speak with peace and comfort to anyone who visits.
As proud stewards of the WFT and anxious to lure the public to visit, the RVGC will be highlighting its beauty with a photographic exhibit from February 4-15, 8am-4pm, at The Boonton Township Municipal Building, 155 Powerville Rd. A special reception for town officials will be held on Monday, February 4, from 4pm-6pm. The exhibit is open and free to all who wish to experience nature’s power to delight and enchant through photos. And then when the weather warms, go and see this treasure for yourself.

CONSTRUCTION DEPARTMENT NEWS
In an effort to improve the level of service to our residents, the Township has entered into a shared services agreement with the Township of Montville for Construction Department Services. Effective January 1, 2019 all construction services including applications and issuance of construction permits and scheduling and performance of inspections will be administered through the Montville Township’s Construction Office.
This shared service agreement now provides Boonton Township residents with a full-time Construction Department staff – 8:30AM to 4:30PM Monday through Friday, a significant expansion beyond the limited hours of 2 to 3 hours twice a week for inspections. Having access to multiple, full-time inspectors will also provide for more opportunities to schedule inspections quickly.
