"MAYOR'S MESSAGE"

Welcome to the city's new "Green Pages", an exciting and innovative new section of the City's website. This section was designed to announce our new Go-Green City-Wide Initiative and to inform the community of various ways we can all get involved. This initiative is vital to ensuring the preservation of our current standard of living. Simply put, the choices and behaviors we choose today will effect future generations and have a direct impact on an evermore interconnected planet. This will take an all-hands effort. With this initiative in mind, I recently created the Energy Review Committee composed of representatives from many different departments - including the planning, health, public works, and police departments. This committee will work hard for the community to provide new environmentally friendly initiatives to help make the quality of life better in our city. It will be looking at improving efficiency in city buildings, planning new environmentally efficient structures, reusing resources, and encouraging our residents to become more environmentally friendly. This is an on going effort and takes commitments from community members too. What we do as a team to make our world better is most important to our future generations and I'm looking for input from residents as to what we can do to make things more efficient.As Mayor of Long Branch, I am very proud of our community and see so many positive things that can be accomplished by working together. Please browse our city's website and its new "Green Pages". We have information you might need at your finger tips 24 hours a day, as well as links to other sites you might need. Again, thanks for your interest in helping Long Branch go green!
