The Glassboro Council convened on November 26, 2024, to address various community issues and developments. The meeting began with updates from the water and sewer department, which is currently filling vacancies due to staff turnover. The department is also actively working on lead and galvanized pipe replacements, responding to concerns raised by residents regarding letters from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). Officials clarified that Glassboro does not have lead service pipes, although the wording in the DEP communications has caused confusion among residents.

Councilwoman Spence wished everyone a happy Thanksgiving, marking a brief moment of community spirit before moving on to new business. The council approved the naming of four new streets: Manganero Avenue, Mitchell Lane, Donnelly Court, and Tucker Terrace. A motion to approve these names passed, with one abstention noted for Manganero Avenue.

Additionally, the council approved a street closure application for Saint Bridget's Hispanic Ministries for a procession on December 11, 2024, and a facilities use application for Burrow and Lights on December 6, 2024.

The engineer's report highlighted ongoing construction projects in the area. Most site work for townhouses is complete, with minor repairs pending. Straga Court is awaiting outside agency approvals before full construction can commence. Other projects, including QOZ storage on Route 47 and Lisio's Bakery, are nearing completion, with final punch list items being addressed.

The council also discussed upcoming projects on Route 47, which are expected to begin in the next few months and continue for approximately a year and a half. Notably, funding for the 2025 municipal aid project on Hampton Boulevard was announced, amounting to $352,538.

The meeting concluded with an invitation for questions, reflecting the council's commitment to transparency and community engagement. Overall, the session underscored ongoing infrastructure improvements and the council's responsiveness to resident concerns.
