Verona’s Township Council as a whole, which also includes Councilwoman Christine McGrath and Councilman Alex Roman, has demonstrated a commitment to addressing Verona's critical needs, preserving Verona’s unique charm and fostering an inclusive community atmosphere. Some of the tangible projects that demonstrate this include:
