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.
