Swedesboro lights up blue for Autism Awareness Month

Message to Swedesboro businesses and residents:
It’s time to Light It Up Blue in Swedesboro again in honor of Autism Awareness Month and I am hoping that you will once again help Swedesboro stand out as a community that cares about all the people who deal with Autism on a daily basis.  I’m asking all businesses to consider swapping out one or more of your lights with a blue light from April 2 through April 30th.  If you want more information about this effort please check out this website – https://www.autismspeaks.org/liub
The town will be doing our part once again by lighting up our buildings with Blue Lights – please join us.
Tom Fromm
Mayor

“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.”
