Shamong Changes Mayor For 2023 As 10-Year Committeeman Departs; Meeting Set With Firm Wanting To Start Cannabis Operations In Town
Di Croce, whose long-held vision has been to make Shamong the “pot growing capital of New Jersey,” both to increase ratables and job opportunities, as well as lower or eliminate altogether local property taxes, last served as township mayor in 2020, when he worked to help establish the Cannabis Subcommittee in December of that year, which has since helped form the current local zoning regulations for cannabis, and recommended to the governing body where cannabis operations should be a permitted land use.
