Hamburger Elected President of Washington BID's Board of Directors

Monika Hamburger, who owns Washington Borough-based ComForcare Home Care with her husband Steven, has been elected the new president of the Washington Business Improvement District's Board of Directors.

"I am looking forward to this coming year," said Hamburger, whose home care agency office is located downtown at 71 East Washington Avenue. "Ed Rossi has done a terrific job over the past few years, overseeing two major downtown projects, and really moving the WBID forward on a number of other levels. Our priorities this year are to continue to host quality events that draw visitors to our business community, such as our car show and Festival in the Borough, and to fill vacant storefronts. I believe that as the economy improves - and it will - folks will see Washington Borough as a very strategic place to do business. With our close proximity to several major roads, including Routes 46, 78, 22, 57, 31, and not that far away from Route 80, we are truly the crossroads of Warren County."
