Eminent domain foes vow to fight

Eminent Domain: the power of a government to take private property for public use; the 5th Amendment of the US Constitution and articles in many state constitutions allow this practice provided that just compensation is made.

In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on the use of eminent domain, citizens from all over Southern New Jersey have vowed to take action.

Representatives from across the state gathered last week to put their plans in action to protect home owners. "This is the first real step for us to take back our properties from the abuse of local governments in New Jersey," said South Jersey Our Homes Coordinator Pat Seidman. Read More

State Awards Borough $125,000 Grant

NORTH ARLINGTON - New Jersey Senator Garry Furnari (D-36) announced the Department of Environmental Protection has awarded North Arlington $125,000 under the Statewide Livable Communities Program (LC).

The grant will fund the extension of Rusignola Park onto a piece of property formerly owned by Sorce Brothers. The park is located along the Passaic River on River Road.

The Statewide Livable Communities Program was designed by Governor Jim McGreevey to assist local communities in meeting their recreational and open space objectives.

"This funding will ensure that open space can be acquired without burdening local taxpayers," said Furnari.

Mayor Russ Pitman called the state's commitment to open space acquisition and preservation important to suburban communities with few open space options.

"North Arlington needs to retain it's small town appeal by preserving and restoring any open space opportunity that may exist. It's a strategy that will retain home values and continue to make North Arlington a wide residential investment," said the Mayor.
