Despite the fact that the Borough is closed Monday, Nov. 12 in observance of Veterans Day, the Mayor and Council will be meeting for their monthly work session at 7 pm in the upstairs conference room of Borough Hall.

The Zoning Board planner is scheduled to appear to discuss rezoning as well as the proposed ordinance regarding it.
