On March 12, 1997 the Morris County Freeholder Director Christopher Christie appointed Matthew Sprung to the Morris County Planning Board.  Matt made it his responsibility to learn all aspects of county planning.  In addition, he was always inquisitive, supportive and involved with staff initiatives and projects through out his tenure as a board member.  Matt Sprung was a great asset to the Morris County Planning Board and my great pleasure to have worked with him on a professional level.
