When the Township reorganizes at its virtual meeting on Sunday, January 3rd, the governing body is expected to elect Tony Perry to serve as Mayor for the third consecutive year. This is the first time in over 45 years that a mayor has served three years in a row since Mayor Thomas J. Lynch (1972-1974). Rick Hibell is anticipated to be chosen as Deputy Mayor, which will be his first time serving in this role.
“It has been an incredible honor to serve as Mayor over the last two years and I look forward to continuing the important work that is ongoing in 2021,” said Mayor Tony Perry.
“Despite COVID-19, this Township Committee did not slow down on any of the initiatives and projects we started in 2019 and early 2020, and as we begin to emerge from this pandemic, it is imperative that we continue to provide our residents with innovative solutions which will keep Middletown a great place to live and raise a family," continued Mayor Perry. He added, “I am extremely grateful to my colleagues on the Committee for their leadership and trust to once again serve as your Mayor.”
