366 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE DECEMBER 2020 MOUNT OL I VE TOWNSHI P , NEW JERSEY with over 60,000 panels producing 28 MW of electricity. CEP Renewables will play a key role in the Combe Fill North project – the largest solar landfill project of its kind in North America. The most recent green initiative in Mount Olive is the future installation of eight electric vehicle charging stations at Turkey Brook Park. With more residents investing in electric vehicles, this service will support the use and incentives others to make the switch. In my view, having 35%, 6,925 acres, of the community as protected open space has a positive impact on the community. Quality of life, community wellness, and robust recreational opportunities are the hallmarks of Mount Olive and our successful open space program. In 1995, residents approved the establishment of a local Open Space Trust Fund which allows us to acquire and preserve land. One of the first acquisitions led to the creation of Turkey Brook Park, a centerpiece of the Township. Capital Investment Mount Olive makes significant capital improvements on an annual basis. We’ve increased spending on our road rehabilitation program, investing over $1M in 2020, installing public sewers in our Historical District, expanding our water service area, converting our grass recreational fields into turf, renovating Historical Buildings and purchasing new vehicles and equipment to ensure our services are being delivered. In 2021 we’ll be looking at starting the Budd Lake Beach renovation, converting an old Horse Farm the Township acquired into a new recreational facility and continuing to invest in our infrastructure. Most importantly, the Mayor has created a workforce environment which emphasizes the importance of delivering exceptional service and putting the needs of our residents first. This allows us to build trust and a good reputation within the community.
