Mayor Soriano To Hold Virtual 'State Of The Township' Address

PARSIPPANY, NJ — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills will present a virtual "State of the Township" address Thursday beginning at 7 p.m.

Due to ongoing restrictions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, officials said the address will be presented on the township website, social media and on Video-On-The-Go Channel 21.

“This year’s address will be different from our typical in-person gatherings,” said Mayor Michael Soriano. “But I feel even with our continued social distance, it’s as important as ever to provide residents an opportunity to hear from your township government, and be involved in our plans for the year ahead.”

The address will highlight several issues impacting the township in 2021, including:

• Communication with residents during the health emergency.
• The Fiscal health of the township and restoring the utility fund balance.
• Challenges and triumphs of the township’s first responders.
• New communication capabilities and the bodycam initiative for the township’s police force.
• Open Space priorities, environmental protection, and neighborhood development.
• Planning priorities (like revitalizing North Beverwyck Road), immediate deliverables from the New Master Plan, and holding developers accountable to residents.

“There are so many important issues facing our township that must be discussed,” said Mayor Soriano. “As we look to building a better future, it’s important to recognize that every resident plays a role in making our community better.”
