“It was an honor to represent Swedesboro at the Mayor’s Hall of Fame ceremony and I take great pride in the fact that I was able to achieve this milestone.  I appreciate the fact that Dave Flaherty, Sam Casella and Diane Hale all nominated me for the recognition and I think it’s an excellent example of how well we all work together.” Mayor Fromm said.

“I love being Mayor of Swedesboro and I’m proud of all that we have accomplished over the last 11 years that I have served as Mayor.  The goal has always been to make our great town a better place to live, work and visit and the recent recognition of Swedesboro as Number 12 on the list of “The Top 14 Small City/Towns” in all of New Jersey is a good indication that we continue to make positive progress towards that goal.”
