When the Cranbury Township Committee convened for its annual reorganization meeting committee members elected Mike Ferrante as the township’s new mayor.
Ferrante was elected mayor for 2021 at a reorganization meeting on Jan. 4. He succeeds Township Committeeman Matt Scott, who served as mayor in 2020.
“2020 was a tough year for our country and many in our community. I am grateful for the advancement in the sciences that has brought forth the efficacious vaccines in nine months,” Ferrante said in his remarks. “In 2020, despite the pandemic and all of its disruptions, we continued to make progress as a township. We switched to zoom township committee meetings, which have the side benefit of a lot more transparency and engagement with our residents.”
