Does the Highlands Act have any effect on the Boroughs finances?
The N.J. Highlands Council can, from time to time, have an impact of Borough finances. As a municipality located within the N.J. Highlands Region, there are many water-related and planning-related requirements that we must adhere to. As a result, any mandates that are passed down by the Highlands Council may have a direct effect on the Borough. Depending on the scope of these mandates, the Borough may need to incur additional costs in order to be compliant with State laws.
