Welcome! We're glad you're here. Our purpose is to share information with you
that you might not already know.


WHAT IS MANVILLE.TODAY?

Manville.Today is your one-stop resource to learn more about what's happening at
Borough Hall with our Mayor & Council. We attend public meetings regularly, and
question those in charge. New and amended Resolutions/Ordinances are always
being passed. What are they? How do they affect you? We provide you, the
resident, with information to understand what's happening.

What is Manville Borough Council doing that impacts you? We break all the
information down for you in an easy to understand way. Not only do we regularly
attend council meetings, we obtain more information about various topics via the
OPRA (Open Public Records Act) process. We are highly involved in our community.

This way, you, the Manville resident, are aware of what our Council & Mayor are
doing to our town we call home.
