Ken Evans Recognized for Over a Decade of Service to the Community
Kevin Smith, right, chair of the Gloucester County Board of Supervisors, recognized Ken Evans for nearly eleven years of service on the County's Floodplain Management Committee during the board’s meeting July 15.
Mr. Evans played a key role in improving the County's rating when it comes to giving residents discounts on their flood insurance. He has also made multiple presentations regarding floodplain management to the board of supervisors to help the board make informed decisions to enhance the safety and wellbeing of the community over the years.
