                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD NORCROSS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 12, 2022

  Mr. NORCROSS. Madam Speaker, a native of Paulsboro, New Jersey, 
Commissioner Director Damminger attended and graduated from Paulsboro 
High School. His commitment to public service began as he was elected 
to hold a seat on the Paulsboro Council, which he served in graciously 
for eleven years. He was a member of the Public works, Finance and the 
Water Sewer Committees as well as Chair of the Public Safety Committee 
for 10 years.
  During his tenure, Commissioner Director Damminger has dutifully 
served eight terms over the span of eleven years on the County Board. 
Gloucester County being home to roughly three-hundred thousand 
residents, Commissioner Director Damminger has led his fellow 
commissioners on the mission to provide the highest level of service 
while also enhancing the quality of life in the County.
  Commissioner Director Damminger's dedication to Gloucester County and 
its residents has resulted in efforts to permanently preserve more than 
twenty-thousand acres of farmland and open space. He also helped to 
secure millions in federal and state funding to improve the county's 
roads and infrastructure. Commissioner Director Damminger is a 
trailblazer, credited with making Gloucester County the first county in 
the great state of New Jersey to regionalize the correctional system, 
putting the county on pace to save taxpayers a quarter-of-a-billion 
dollars over the next twenty-five years. Although his successor will be 
chosen in the coming months, it is evident that Commissioner Director 
Damminger's impact on Gloucester County will be appreciated for years 
to come.
