Middletown Township Rings in 2023 with Annual Reorganization Meeting

Reorganization 2023

Mayor Tony Perry discusses the Township Committee's goals for 2023. 

Middletown Township held its annual reorganization meeting on New Year's Day. Rick Hibell and Kevin Settembrino, who were elected in November, were sworn into the Township Committee to serve their three-year terms. Father Jeff Kegley of Saint Mary, Mother of God Church performed the invocation and Middletown's Veterans Affairs Committee Chairman (and 2022 Veteran of the Year) Dennis Beauregard led the Pledge of Allegiance.

The Township Committee selected Tony Perry to serve his fifth consecutive year as mayor. Rick Hibell was chosen to serve as deputy mayor for his third consecutive year. The 2023 Middletown Township Fire Department (MTFD) and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) chiefs were also sworn in by Mayor Perry. Additionally, Middletown volunteers who were appointed to various boards, commissions, and committees were given their Oath of Office. 

Congratulations to everyone and thank you for your dedication to our community!
