Franklin Lakes Earns Prestigious Sustainable Jersey Certification
Sustainable Jersey representatives announced that Franklin Lakes has met the rigorous requirements to achieve Sustainable Jersey certification at the "bronze" level. Franklin Lakes is one of 100 towns that have attained certification in 2019. Sustainable Jersey's participating communities represent over half the state's municipalities and nearly 90 percent of its population.
The Franklin Lakes Green Team, consisting of the members of the Borough's Environmental Commission and several local citizens and students, completed the tasks necessary for becoming certified, with the assistance of many others, including the Mayor and Council, the Department of Public Works, the Planning and Zoning Boards and the Franklin Lakes Shade Tree Commission.
