PARSIPPANY — At the Tuesday, November 20 Town Council Meeting, Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor Michael Soriano presented the Woman’s Club of Parsippany-Troy Hills (WCPTH) a Proclamation for National Adoption Month.
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Jersey is the latest State Special Project adopted by the New Jersey State Federations of Woman’s Clubs (NJSFWC). CASA is part of a national network of non-profit programs that advocate for children removed from their families because of abuse or neglect.
CASA recruits and trains community volunteers to be a “voice in court” for children removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. Community volunteers are trained to “speak up” for these children, helping them get the services they need and ensuring that they find safe, permanent homes. CASA programs operate in all 21 counties in New Jersey.
National Adoption Month is an initiative with a goal to increase national awareness and bring attention to the need for permanent families for children and youth in the U.S. foster care system. With a CASA volunteer dedicated to their case, these vulnerable children have someone speaking up for their best interest.

PARSIPPANY — The Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills will be holding the first public workshop on its new Master Plan on November 27, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., at Parsippany Hills High School (PHHS) in the cafeteria at 20 Rita Drive.
The Township invites residents, business owners, property owners and other interested parties to share their ideas about how Parsippany should change and what assets should be protected over the next 10 years. Parsippany’s Master Plan is the Township’s public policy guide in terms of housing, economic development, transportation, utilities, recreation, sustainability, open space and other important resources.
The Master Plan is not a law, but it provides guidance to elected officials and decision-makers when they make land use, zoning and capital investment decisions. The basic purpose for a Master Plan, as stated by New Jersey Statute within the “Municipal Land Use Law” (MLUL), is “to guide the use of lands within the municipality in a manner which protects public health and safety and promotes the general welfare.” This current effort will reflect changes to the Township since the Master Plan was “Reexamined” in 2014. The purpose of the first public workshop is to introduce the project and discuss the community’s vision for Parsippany. Ensuing meetings and workshops will be used to present findings and test recommendations.
The feedback will help to ensure that the Master Plan is representative of the community as a whole and that it includes realistic and publicly supported goals and objectives. The Township led project is expected to continue until the summer of 2019. Maximizing citizen participation is an essential component of the effort.
There will be a numerous opportunities for public input including two public workshops, an online survey, stakeholder interviews and focus groups.
