Coronavirus updates

Due to the lifting of the Stay Home Order, Williamstown Township Hall is now open with limited staff and access. Due to the limited space, the doors will remain locked with the need to call for entry and a maximum of two residents will be allowed in at a time. With the rotation of staff, we highly recommend an appointment to insure your needs are being addressed. For the safety of residents and staff, a mask will be required. The Board adopted a Covid -19 Preparedness and Response Plan at the May 21st special board meeting.

Hall rentals have been cancelled until inside gatherings are lifted by the Governor.

The pavilions, sports fields, and playgrounds are now open for use, however the rest rooms will remain closed at this time. Please continue with the social distancing to maintain a safe environment! Fields and Township Park pavilion require a reservation.

The September Clean-up event has been cancelled due to the pandemic.

If you know of a resident who is in need of help, please don't hesitate to reach out to the Township. If the service needed is beyond what we can handle, we will help get the message to the appropriate organization.

Many of our residents are voting by absentee ballot due to the pandemic. Please call the office if you would like to vote by absentee to make sure you receive the ballot in a timely manner.

And beyond all else, please stay safe!

In The Spotlight

Census 2020

While the Township residents have overwhelmingly responded to the Census at a rate of 85.9% as of 8/23/20, that still leaves approximately 14% of the Township population that has not completed the questionaire. Census workers will be going door to door in an attempt to capture the missing households. The last day for participation in the census is October 31, 2020.

The Census count impacts the Township in the State Revenue received, our representation in the House of Representatives as well as infrastructure funding. It's important to make sure everyone is counted appropriately!

Immediate Openings!

The Township is very fortunate to have had Clerk Steinberg serving the Township for the past four years. Mark tendered his resignation at the Board meeting effective September 30, 2020, after announcing in April that he would not run again. Mark is running for a Trustee position on the November ballot and looks forward to continuing serving the Township on the Parks and Rec Committee. The Board has appointed Robin Cleveland to fill the remainder of his term.

Robin will need to fill the Deputy Clerk’s position. If you, or anyone you know, is interested in the position, please click h ere for the job description.

The Township is also in immediate need of an Election Assistant to help with processing Absentee Voter Ballots until the election. Must be organized and comfortable using a computer. Election Inspectors are welcome to apply.
