GILL ANNOUNCES TAX RELIEF FOR GLEN RIDGE

TRENTON - Senator Nia H. Gill today announced that Glen Ridge Borough will receive $250,000 in property tax relief under the States Extraordinary Aid Program.

Alts good to see that Glen Ridge property taxpayers will get some much-needed relief, said Senator Gill, who represents the borough in the 34th Legislative District.
