The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs’ Division of Local Government Services, on behalf of the Governor, is collecting applications. Applicants must be Greenwich Township residents who are currently registered to vote in the Township. Applicants must also consent to a criminal background check as well as access to their credit history, judgments and driving record.
