Both are volunteer committees made up of dedicated Andover Township residents. Welcome to the Andover Township Buy-Local and Visitors Guide We thank you for your interest in buying from our local businesses in Andover Township, New Jersey. You may be surprised to know that Andover Township is home to more than 100 locally owned and operated businesses. These businesses provide our community with a wide variety of goods and services. Purchasing within one’s own neighborhood offers you an opportunity to invest in your local economy and build community. You might ask, why should I buy local? When you buy local, you are helping to make our community stronger. Buying local creates jobs for our community, and it promotes local entrepreneurship which gives you more consumer choice. Buying local also reduces environmental impacts because it means that products do not have to travel as far, thus reducing greenhouse gas and other pollution. For the visitors to our great town, you’ll find lots to explore. Andover Township is at the heart of Sussex County’s many trails. Explore our rich natural history on our more than 2,000 acres of parks, nature preserves and Wildlife Management Areas. We are a four-season destination, with a nationally recognized state park and more than twenty (20) miles of trails. When visiting, stay overnight in our charming B&B and lodging options, stop in to one our many cafes and restaurants; and take your family to one of our ten local farms and farm markets for strawberries, apples, pumpkins, eggs and more. Please take a moment to enjoy our guide and we encourage you to check out our businesses. So, get out there and enjoy all that our town has to offer, and remember whenever you can - BUY LOCAL!

All photos © Virginia Kolstad Buying local increases the “velocity” of money, or circulation speed, in the area. If the dollar we spend circulates more quickly around a community, the money will pass through more hands—and the more people have had the benefit of that dollar. -Schwartz, 2009 This Guide was designed by Gravity Designworks Inc.

According to the American Independent Business Association, studies show that money we spend locally has a multiplier effect by re-circulating it back into the community. On average, independent retailers return more than three times as much money per dollar of sales than chain competitors. (AIBA, 2020) When we choose to spend our money at local businesses and buy locally produced goods and services, we’re choosing to reinvest in our community and helping to create a stronger local economy and a more sustainable planet. Strong local economies are essential to sustainable community development. The healthiest economies are those that connect economic development to meet the communities’ social and environmental needs. That’s why “buying local” can make such a powerful difference – we are connecting our economic choices to our values and to a vision for the kind of community we want to live in.

    Section 3: County Profile SECTION 3. COUNTY PROFILE This profile describes the general information of the County (physical setting, population and demographics, general building stock, and land use and population trends) and critical facilities located within Morris County. In Section 3, specific profile information is presented and analyzed to develop an understanding of the study area, including the economic, structural, and population assets at risk and the particular concerns that may be present related to hazards analyzed (for example, a high percentage of vulnerable persons in an area). 2020 HMP Changes The “County Profile” is now located in Section 3; previously located in Section 4. It contains updated information regarding the County's physical setting, population and demographics and trends, general building stock, land use and trends, potential new development and critical facilities. This includes U.S. Census ACS 2017 data and additional information regarding the New Jersey Highlands Region in the Development Trends/Future Development subsection. Critical facilities identified as community lifelines using FEMA’s lifeline definition and seven categories were added to the inventory and described in this section. 3.1 GENERAL INFORMATION Morris County is one of the fastest growing counties in the New York-New Jersey-Connecticut metropolitan region. It is located amid rolling hills, broad valleys, and lakes approximately 30 miles northwest of New York City. The County was created by an Act of the State Legislature on March 15, 1738, separating it from Hunterdon County.

George M. Farlekas Prepared in cooperation with the Delaware River Basin Commission Trenton, New Jersey October 1966 Open-file report PREFACE This is the second of two reports on flood inundation along the Delaware River.
