Fall 2023: Transparency in Hillsborough’s municipal government stands as the foundation that fosters trust, accountability, and resident participation. The essence of transparency lies in the open and accessible flow of information between government institutions (Hillsborough Township) and the public they serve. By providing residents of Hillsborough with insight into decision-making processes, financial operations, and public policy, the Republican-led Township Committee has strengthened our democratic foundation and engaged and empowered taxpayers in the township’s democratic process.
Hillsborough residents expect their Township Committee, administrative staff, and public officials to be accountable for their actions. Hillsborough Township goes above and beyond to demonstrate its commitment to transparent governance and implements numerous proactive efforts to communicate, engage, and seek input from the community. Town hall meetings, public forums, and online platforms are just a few of the means by which the Township promotes transparency and enables citizens to voice their opinions, contribute ideas, and hold their leaders accountable.
The Republican-led Township Committee and Administrative staff use best practices and a thoughtful, systematic approach to ensure and promote transparency to the decisions, operations, and policies that effectively govern Hillsborough Township.
