Borough Mourns the Loss of Tanya Goodwin

Our Swedesboro Family is mourning the loss of Tanya Goodwin, our long time Borough Clerk, who passed away on Monday, October 22, 2018. We are still trying to come to grips with this devastating loss.

Tanya worked in our Borough Hall for the entire time I have been Mayor, so I know better than anyone her work ethic and dedication to Swedesboro. She worked her way up from a general clerk to the most critical position in our Borough Hall, an accomplishment that required years of continuous effort. We were all proud of her achievements and especially proud when we were able to promote her to fill the position of Borough Clerk.

Tanya was an amazing mother and wife, and our hearts go out to Bill, Brooke and Bill Jr. as they deal with their sudden loss.

We have lowered our Borough flags to half staff to honor Tanya Goodwin. May you Rest in Peace Tanya.

-Tom Fromm, Mayor

S/W Environmental Commission holds ‘Pop-Up’ Cleanup Event at Lake Park

The Swedesboro-Woolwich Township Environmental Commission held a ‘Pop-Up’ Clean up event to help keep Swedesboro Lake Park beautiful last weekend. It was a tremendous success.

Swedesoro Council President, Sam Casella, working to remove debris from the lakes edge.

The Borough of Swedesboro lowered the lake so residents could tend to their lakefront properties.  The Environmental Commission also cleaned around the edges of the lake removing debris.

Groups, families and individuals were encouraged to participate in this fun volunteer event with free food, drinks and giveaways.

The Swedesboro/Woolwich Joint Environmental Commission was formed in 2013 when the Swedesboro Environmental Commission joined with the Woolwich Township Environmental Commission in an effort to better protect the development and/or use of natural resources including water sources, located within the territorial limits of the Borough of Swedesboro and Woolwich Township.
