North Bergen introduces $5,000,000 bond ordinance

The North Bergen Board of Commissioners introduced a $5 million bond ordinance this week that would fund a number of capital projects over the coming year, including the design of a 1.5-acre park adjacent to the new Hudson Mews residential development and the purchase of a roughly 1.5-acre property from Suez North America.

• $500,000 would go toward the design of a new 1.5-acre passive park overlooking the Meadowlands on Paterson Plank Road

• $620,000 will go toward road repairs and resurfacing — including the length of Park Avenue

• $100,000 toward maintenance of the sanitary and storm water sewer system

• $400,000 toward replacing track at Bruin Stadium

• $270,000 for equipment, machinery and technology upgrades

• $615,000 acquisition of new vehicles, including a new street sweeper

A vote to adopt the bond ordinance is scheduled for the next meeting of the Board of Commissioners on Feb. 10.
