The Town of Egg Harbor will move into 2024 with a new town chair. Steve Schopf has stepped in from his supervisory position to take the leadership role. Schopf, who retired as the Egg Harbor Fire Department Chief in 2020, accepted the role in late October when then-town chair Paul Peterson unexpectedly passed away. Schopf says the transition has been challenging but Egg Harbor hopes to have key issues like road repairs and the broadband internet project completed within 18 months.
Schopf says the 2024 budget was set in the past month with no increase in the tax levy. Mark Graupman, who serves on the Broadband Committee, filled Schopf’s Supervisor 3 position on the board. The Town of Egg Harbor will meet again on Monday, December 18th.
