3. Mayor Janice S. Mironov, Along with Other Mercer County Mayors and Our Health Officers Association, this Week Commenced Cooperative Local Clinics to Administer the COVID-19 Vaccinations to Emergency Medical Services Personnel and Community Healthcare Workers Eligible in Phase 1A of the State Phasing Plan. On Monday, December 28, the first such localized vaccination clinic for these priority Phase 1A eligible was held. The New Jersey Department of Health has established a phasing plan for eligibility for vaccinations, which timing will be determined by State officials. The next group Phase 1B will include seniors ages 75 and older and frontline essential workers. Then the next group in Phase 1C will include adults 65 to 74 years and adults with underlying medical conditions. After these phases are complete, then Phase 2 will be implemented for the general public to be eligible for vaccination. The timing of each phase will be determined by the New Jersey Department of Health as vaccines become more readily available, and that plan will continually be updated in response to any changing circumstances. The Township will continue efforts to offer accurate and timely information to inform all residents of the vaccination process, including who is eligible to receive the vaccine and where they may receive it. For current State information about COVID-19 vaccines, eligible to receive a vaccination, and timing of the phased approaches and priority groups CLICK HERE.

4. East Windsor Township Mayor Mironov and Council Members Acquire Additional Open Space Property on Etra Road. This 11.32 acre property fronting on Etra Road connects to the existing preserved open space property known as Disbrow Hill Park and expands the assemblage of open space helping to maintain the rural character in this area of the Township. The property acquisition price of $220,000 was totally underwritten by New Jersey Green Acres and Mercer County Open Space grants, and no local property taxpayer monies were used in this purchase. This newest acquisition furthers East Windsor Township’s Open Space Program, a longtime priority focus of the Mayor and Council, and contributes directly to expanding potential recreational opportunities, as well as enhancing the attractiveness of our community and fostering a healthier and green environment for our residents.
