They can come here to the building, hang ribbons on the trees, and the employees get involved as well,” Ferrera describes. “Something is going on here almost every week. We’ve been especially focusing on tourism as people are coming to Hillsborough to see Duke Farms, the Sourland Mountain Preserve, Iron Peak, and other destinations, which can bring thousands of people here on weekends for sports tournaments.” Hillsborough Township has also positioned itself as a film-friendly community, ready to accommodate anyone seeking a location for movie filming. Residents are drawn to Hillsborough for several compelling reasons. Deputy Mayor Robert Britting believes the township’s main attractions are the strong sense of community, safety, and solid town infrastructure. Additionally, the Deputy Mayor believes the abundance of open spaces, comprising nearly 40% of protected, unbuildable land, adds to the township’s allure. “When you’re driving home from work and you see that land, it makes you feel connected to the town in a very different way,” he says. “When you combine the balance between how the Township is run, with the open space and the farm-like rural feel, that is the reason why people want to be here. People want to spend money in Hillsborough, they want to stay here, and keep their money here.”
