Township Website Recognized by Study
The Monmouth University Polling Institute and the Graduate Program in Public Policy have launched an e-government project to examine how New Jersey municipalities use their websites to inform citizens, provide services, and encourage public engagement. During the past year, a total of 540 municipal websites were analyzed for availability of content and ease of use. As a result of this research, the Township of Washington website has received Honorable Mention and was ranked 27th for the overall availability of content to its residents. Continuing improvements are ongoing and suggestions from the public, our township volunteers, and council are always welcome. An awards event is being held at Monmouth University on March 21st to recognize municipalities that demonstrate best practices in using their websites to inform and engage residents.

Township Senior Falcons Win the Super Bowl!
 Congratulations to the Twp. of Washington Senior Falcons for beating Lodi 21 -14 this year in the 2012 NBJFL Super Bowl held in River Vale. For the first time in "Coach Spez's" career of coaching the recreation football program, his Seniors brought the championship trophy home. Fifteen weeks ago coaches Scott Speziale, Eamonn Twomey, Chris Santise, John Feaster, Kevin Vradenberg, and Chris Psihoules challenged this group of young men asking if they could come together and win a championship....could they climb the ladder to greatness...could they grab the bell's string at the top? Well the bell rang and and the ultimate goal was achieved. The team was honored to ride a float in Westwood's Home for the Holidays Parade and will be recognized by the mayor and council later this month. New pics added daily here.
