Denville Township is now auctioning it's surplus on-line! Registration is free for bidders. Bids are open for two weeks when new items are posted. Be sure to check often for new items.

Many local governments are moving to on-line auctions, leaving behind the traditional one-day auction that bidders had to attend.

Friday February 1 is "National Wear Red Day"

As stated by The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), heart disease is the #1 killer of women and only 55 percent of women, nationwide, are aware of it. The percentage of women dying from a heart attack is greater than that of men.

Read the article by Michelle McGlynn RN which describes coronary heart disease, risk factors for heart disease, signs and symptoms of a heart attack, common tests for detecting heart disease, and how to lower your risks.

Then, wear red on February 1 to raise awareness of this life-threatening disease.

The final phase of construction has begun at the municipal building. This phase includes removal of asbestos from the old municipal building, construction of curbs, sidewalks and parking areas, and the eventual demolition of the old structure.

Effective immediately, the parking area of the municipal building has been closed to all public and employee parking with the exception of a limited number of spaces for visitors to the police department.

Citizens arriving to do business at the municipal building should park along the curb on the east side of St. Mary’s Place, alongside St. Mary’s School, and enter the main doors of the municipal building. There is one handicapped parking space designated on St. Mary’s Place and two near the police department.

Citizens, who need assistance at the police department or need to pick up reports, can park on St. Mary’s Place and walk along Savage Road to the front of the police department or may use the emergency access driveway from the back of Riverview School and Gardner Field. Upon entering the parking lot, visitors should park nearest to Savage Road in the spaces marked "Visitor."

Citizens arriving for municipal court on Thursday mornings are advised to proceed to Gardner Field, the Savage Road Park and Ride lot, or Righter Avenue for parking.
