# South River Borough Council Meeting - 9/14/2026

At its September 14, 2026 meeting, the South River Borough Council discussed broadband expansion, municipal contracts, and capital projects. Optimum said it plans to begin a fiber rollout in early 2027, pending access to utility poles; the council approved Resolution 2026-247 authorizing a pole-attachment agreement. The council also approved an award for laboratory water testing through competitive contracting to Euroins, described as a savings over the prior vendor, and an emergency repair contract with Allegiance Truck Centers for the borough’s 2013 International utility truck. A resolution also added another vendor to the borough’s list of potential electricity suppliers to increase competition. No contract dollar amounts were stated in the transcript.

The council received updates on grant-funded road work: Crossroads Paving completed storm-sewer test pits, with work expected to resume, and Fernandez Construction completed paving on Apprentice, Ty, and Cleveland avenues, with the project moving toward closeout. The council adopted an ordinance replacing the borough’s cannabis licensing rules, increasing the maximum number of Class 5 retailers from one to two, and approved a Class 5 retailer license for High-End Cannabis Corporation at 109 Water Street. Ordinances concerning filming permits and municipal administration advanced on first reading, with public hearings scheduled for October 5, 2026.
