Over time, the goal is for each stakeholder group – municipal departments and committees, schools, civic organization, businesses, and residents – to incorporate relevant plan elements into each of their ongoing operations and activities. The plan in not intended to be a new layer of government but rather a device for communicating and coordinating the many diverse, ongoing activities throughout Hillsborough Township. By providing clear goals for the future we hope to enable all our fellow citizens to do their part. By showing what everyone in the town is doing, inside and out of government, we hope to foster a sense of community and shared purpose as we work together to achieve our vision of a sustainable Hillsborough.
