Hillsborough is Recognized as One of the Best Places to Live in America – Again!
Money Magazine rates Hillsborough as one of the best places in the nation to live in its September, 2011 edition, one of only five New Jersey towns to achieve that distinction. This is the second time in four years and this year, Hillsborough Township is the only town from Somerset County to make the list.
“It is fantastic for our town to have made the list twice in the past few years,” said Hillsborough Township
Mayor Gloria McCauley
. “It is a great honor to have this recognition,” added McCauley.
Hillsborough Township first made the list back in 2007, when then Mayor, now committeeman Anthony Ferrera touted that “our secret is out”.
Money Magazine considers various criteria to rank towns across America for their annual list. A combination of factors used in the rankings include; top-notch schools, outdoor activities, population, safety, quality of life and economic strength.
“We have a strong sense of community here in Hillsborough,” stated Mayor Gloria McCauley. “Volunteerism within the community is also very strong and adds to that close-knit community feeling,” added McCauley. “We, as the local elected officials, keep in touch with the community and know what’s going on from the resident’s perspective as a result of the many boards and commissions that so many people volunteer on,” added Mayor McCauley.
“As our residents have confirmed with the slogan ‘Hillsborough the Good Life’, Hillsborough is a great community to live in,” affirmed Mayor Gloria McCauley.
