N.J. Stat. § 40:43-66.78

Current through L. 2024, c. 87.
Section 40:43-66.78 - Findings, declarations relative to consolidation of sparsely populated municipalities

The Legislature finds and declares that the consolidation of sparsely populated municipalities into contiguous municipalities having larger populations should be encouraged as a means to reduce the costs of local government. The Legislature also finds that there should be a simplified consolidation process when a municipality seeking consolidation is sparsely populated and when the resulting consolidated municipality will have the same form of government as the municipality absorbing the sparsely populated municipality.
