Shared Services Study: The Township of Mullica will be partnering with Egg Harbor City to explore the feasibility of sharing Emergency Medical Services. With the significant cuts in State Aid experienced by both communities this year, and more expected in future years, this may be an opportunity for both communities to provide these services in a more cost efficient manner. It is expected the report will be completed by the end of summer.
Historical Society: Mullica Township has recently created an Historical Society to preserve the history of this wonderful Township in which we reside. We are searching for volunteers who are willing to serve in this Society. If you are interested in sharing your treasures, memories and talents with our group, please contact the Township Clerk's Office at 561-0064.

Township Committee introduced the 2008 Muncipal Budget at the March 11 Township Meeting. The introduced budget contains a tax increase of 8.8 cents, due to the 26% cut in State Aid. Mullica Township lost over $207,000 in funding, which represents approximately 7 cents on our tax rate. Township officials are currently identifying areas that will be targeted for budget cuts should the Governor's budget be approved by the legislature. A budget hearing on the 2008 Municipal Budget was held on April 22, 2008 at 7:00 p.m. at townhall. A copy of the introduced budget may be viewed by clicking here.
