Congressman Andy Kim backs federal funding of Joint Base overpass

A request for federal funding for the project to connect the Fort Dix and Lakehurst sections of Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst has gone before a new committee.  U.S. Rep.

Residents will be able to make an appointment ahead of time, or just walk-in. Statewide, and really nationwide, there is a waning of interest in vaccination, said Dr. Herb Conaway, Burlington County Department of Health director.
