Fresh Ideas

Parsippany is a great place to live and work, but good government is always looking for ways to improve.  With a little research and the right leadership, there are dozens of ways that we can make a difference.  Here are just a few ideas…

  • Organize internships in local government for students or anyone interested in learning more
  • Create a task force to provide a specific plan of action on how to improve our Animal Shelter and become a leader across the county for animal services
  • Publicize all open committee positions online so that any resident can apply and give back to our community
  • Bundle municipal internet and cell phone services, just like we do in our homes, to save upwards of $50,000 (similar to Wayne, NJ – read more)
  • Create Council podcasts  - we already record Council meetings, we just need to upload the recordings to iTunes
  • Explore the possibility of alternate hours for the Recycling Center or Permits Office so they are more accessible for residents who work during the week
  • Create monthly email updates to keep interested residents informed about what’s going on in Parsippany and learn when their input is helpful

Do you have a fresh idea to make Parsippany stronger, cleaner, or better-connected?   Please let us know!
