Millburn To Create Flood Committee, Will Hold Virtual Meeting

MILLBURN, NJ — Millburn Township is now looking to form a Flood Mitigation Advisory Committee, after the town experienced severe flooding from Hurricane Ida early this month.

The town announced on Sept. 22 that they are looking for interested residents, property owners and stakeholders to serve on the committee.

Their purpose will be to “mobilize the community involvement in flood control matters and funding issues with the Governing Body, provide pertinent information to residents through education and awareness and serve in an advisory capacity to the Township Committee on flood control matters.” They are looking to fill 12 spots on the committee.

Residents who are interested in serving on the committee can email letusknow@millburntwp.org with the subject “Flood Mitigation AC.” They must provide their name and three to four sentences about why they would like to serve and any other skill set or experience they have to offer the group.

There will also be a virtual discussion about Millburn’s history of flooding and next steps to mitigate future flooding on Tuesday, Sept. 27. It will be held over Zoom at 7 p.m. and registration is required. Click this link to learn more.
