Verona Citizens Award
Robert Detore
Since first elected to the Verona Town Council in 1995, Bob Detore has had a profound and positive effect on the entire community of Verona. During his two terms as Mayor of Verona from 2001 through 2005, Bob brought his skills and experience as the head of a successful business to the Town Council, and took the lead through countless innovative initiatives and visionary endeavors. He helped carry Verona into the new millennium with great pride, passion, forethought, and a true sense of what our community could be. It was his dream for the Hilltop that resulted in the magnificent development realized there now, as well as the prosperous windfall of PILOT dollars generated for the town. That vision included the building of two, all purpose fields to benefit the youth of our community which are just now coming to fruition.
Bob continues his altruistic endeavors serving as the Chairperson for the Robert Treat Academy Charter School in Newark. In the political realm, Bob is also the Chairperson for the New Jersey Democratic Committee for District 11.
