“We wanted to create a sustainable stimulus program in a way that could make an immediate impact for our residents and businesses and be a basis for a long term program,” said Mayor John E. Wallace III. “The partnership and sponsor contributions helped to establish the initial $30,000 in a gift card matching fund, so card buyers can enjoy many of their favorite retailers, restaurants, services, and entertainment on an easy-to-use gift card. This is huge for the residents and the businesses of Glassboro.”

“There is no better way to usher in the holidays than to join us here in Downtown Glassboro,” said Glassboro Mayor John E. Wallace III, who will lead the countdown. “The tree lighting is classic Glassboro, and each year the crowd, including a lot of regional visitors, grows larger. It’s such a delight to greet everyone following the lighting and wish them a wonderful holiday season.”

“Mayor McCabe’s outstanding professional contribution to Glassboro is measured by the many and varied infrastructure improvements he has handled, the steady investment in services, equipment and buildings; his commitment to providing excellent efficiency and service for Glassboro residents, and the numerous high quality developments added during his tenure as mayor,” said incoming Mayor John E. Wallace III. “His leadership and guidance have left the Borough well- positioned for the future.”
