Dear Residents,

As we eagerly await the start of summer, I would like to share some Borough happenings and keep you informed of some important dates for your calendars. First, my compliments to the Ho-Ho-Kus Shade Tree and Beautification Committee for their stellar work in beautifying downtown. It has never looked better, and the Municipal Building now fittingly represents Ho-Ho-Kus as a premier town in New Jersey. The Borough was among the first municipalities in NJ to deliver a fully compliant water delivery system which maximized the opportunity for grant funding and debt relief for the project. The fact that we had a shovel-ready plan ahead of almost everyone else in the state not only allowed the Borough to secure a loan with favorable rates, but we also were able to obtain $1 Million savings off the top for debt forgiveness. This saved our residents not only a million dollars but set a substantial portion of the remaining debt at 0% interest, with the rest at very favorable rates, resulting in more savings. The 3rd Annual Ho-Ho-Kus Day is scheduled for September 7th. This event has become a very successful celebration and is a great occasion to reconnect. We hope you can join us! Lastly, I want to take a moment to recognize the significance of volunteerism. As I have said often, our volunteers are the lifeblood of Ho-Ho-Kus. As we look to the future, our community stands strong and unified on the good will of our neighbors through friendship, service, dedication and commitment. I would like to personally thank each and every one of our volunteers for their contribution.

Congratulations to all our graduates, and best wishes for a safe and healthy summer!

Mayor Thomas W. Randall
