"The Civic Center is dedicated to providing our community with a quality facility for gatherings, meetings, recreational, as well as educational programs for our residents," said Ed Humphrey, Chairman of the Board of Trustees.

"Our conference rooms and versatile multi-purpose space make these areas ideal for just about any use," said Trustee Mary Makley Wolff, who also helped the township put in place its park system before she became a Trustee.
"Cushioned floors are designed for dance, aerobics, martial arts training, or just about any physical fitness activity you can think," she said. The facility is availble for use by local non-profit groups, community get-togethers, children or senior activities, team talks, and business and organizational meetings.
"Plus, we offer a spacious full-size galley for catering food, drinks and any other meeting or party need," said Trustee Ken Tracy. "And our conference rooms offer full-size video projection screens for presentations and organizational meetings.”
The Civic Center will also have a larger room for the Board of Trustees to conduct meetings. Two adjoining conference rooms have been added for the township to hold meetings and gatherings.
