Gloucester City Redevelopment Coordinator Ask Council to Save His Job

GLOUCESTER CITY NJ-Employee layoffs continued to be one of the main subjects discussed during the June 30 Gloucester City Council meeting.

First to speak during the public portion was Eric Fetterolf, project coordinator of Redevelopment in the Community Development Office.

He also administrates the Gloucester City Housing Rehab program.

Addressing the possible loss of his job, Fetterolf said, \”I am one of the 15 people who have received a layoff notice that took me off guard.

\”I worked for the City for 12½ years, gave up 1.5 percent health benefits and longevity, and my presentations didn’t seem to matter,\” he said.

\”I have been willing to negotiate to save my job. Over 200 homeowners have benefited through the rehab program, and $3 million were brought in to rehab homes of low to moderate property owners,\” he said.

Monica Fetterolf spoke on her husband’s behalf.
