Parsippany-Troy Hills Township Council has made significant budgetary adjustments, reducing funding to the Parsippany Athletic League (PAL) by $160,000 for the upcoming year. This decision reflects a shift in financial responsibilities, as the PAL will now cover the salary of its own director, allowing the township to focus its resources on other community programs while maintaining a partnership with the organization.

During the council meeting on November 26, 2024, the mayor expressed gratitude for the collaboration with PAL, emphasizing the importance of community partnerships in enhancing local recreational offerings. The mayor also took the opportunity to remind residents of upcoming community events, including Small Business Saturday on November 30, the annual Christmas tree lighting on December 7 featuring Santa, and the Friends of Lake High Water Winterfest on December 8.

In addition to budget discussions, the council addressed ongoing inquiries regarding the status of the Board of Education audit. Township officials noted that they are still awaiting updates from the auditor, indicating that further information will be provided as it becomes available.

As the township prepares for the holiday season, residents are encouraged to participate in local events and support small businesses, reinforcing community ties and celebrating the spirit of the season. The council's decisions and upcoming activities highlight a commitment to fostering a vibrant and engaged community in Parsippany-Troy Hills.
