BLACK HISTORY MONTH

February is Black History month. New Providence celebrates and honors our many American Black Hereos. Our New Providence Diversity Committee will be sharing Black History and local events and programs offered locally with our community throughout the month. Black History is American History. Let our education begin in February and spread throughout the year.

CITIZEN ACTION LINE:

Our Citizen Action Line is an ‘Online Service Request’ system for information requests, requests for services, and a place for you to submit comments, concerns, and/or items you feel should be reported to the borough. A tracking number is assigned to each new Service Request. Using this tracking number, you can check back on the website at any time to view the current status of your request. It is the fastest and most efficient way of getting a response to your borough needs, and, everything is documented.
