$1 MILLION GRANT RECEIVED!!!
I’m pleased to announce that Congressman Josh Gottheimer has secured a $1 million federal grant for Palisades Park. This funding will replace the outdated Grand Avenue stormwater lineโwhere much of our rainwater collectsโwith a modern system that doubles capacity and greatly reduces flooding in our neighborhoods.
Since 2024, we’ve been committed to strengthening local government and improving services for our residents. Through these efforts, we’ve secured about $3 million in state and federal grants, helping us reduce the burden on taxpayers while addressing long‑standing infrastructure needs.
This new project marks the first phase of a multi‑step plan to upgrade aging stormwater lines and install proper drainage on streets that, surprisingly, were never built with it. We have already obtained additional grants for improvements on 1st, 2nd, and 4th Streets, with construction set to begin before summer.
We are also advancing new policies to prevent future flooding. At the April Mayor and Council meeting, I will introduce an ordinance requiring all new developments to pass a PERC test, ensuring the soil can properly absorb rainfall and avoid drainage issues.
Reform takes time, but meaningful progress is underway. I am grateful to Congressman Gottheimer for his continued support and dedication to the needs of our community, and I am truly grateful that the community believes in our progress of reform.

¿Qué tengo en mente? ¡SUBVENCIÓN DE 1 MILLÓN DE DÓLARES RECIBIDA!
Me complace anunciar que el congresista Josh Gottheimer ha obtenido una subvención federal de 1 millón de dólares para Palisades Park. Estos fondos reemplazarán la antigua línea de aguas pluviales de Grand Avenue —donde se acumula gran parte del agua de lluvia— por un sistema moderno que duplica su capacidad y reduce significativamente las inundaciones en nuestros vecindarios.
Desde 2024, nos hemos comprometido a fortalecer el gobierno local y mejorar los servicios para nuestros residentes. Gracias a estos esfuerzos, hemos asegurado aproximadamente 3 millones de dólares en subvenciones estatales y federales, lo que nos permite reducir la carga para los contribuyentes mientras atendemos necesidades de infraestructura que llevan años pendientes.
Este nuevo proyecto marca la primera fase de un plan de varias etapas para modernizar las antiguas líneas de aguas pluviales e instalar un drenaje adecuado en calles que, sorprendentemente, nunca contaron con él. Ya hemos obtenido subvenciones adicionales para mejoras en las calles 1st, 2nd y 4th, y la construcción comenzará antes del verano.
También estamos avanzando en nuevas políticas para prevenir futuras inundaciones. En la reunión de abril del Alcalde y el Concejo, presentaré una ordenanza que exigirá que todos los nuevos desarrollos superen una prueba PERC, garantizando que el suelo pueda absorber adecuadamente la lluvia y evitar problemas de drenaje.
La reforma toma tiempo, pero ya estamos viendo avances significativos. Agradezco profundamente al congresista Gottheimer por su continuo apoyo y dedicación a las necesidades de nuestra comunidad, y estoy verdaderamente agradecido de que nuestra comunidad confíe en el progreso de nuestras reformas.

The Borough of Palisades Park is launching a 3-month trial program to provide free parking at meter spaces starting at 6:00 PM instead of 10:00 PM.
This temporary change is intended to support residents, visitors, and local businesses during a challenging economic period and to evaluate whether earlier free parking helps encourage activity along Broad Avenue and nearby commercial areas.
The trial phase will remain in effect through June 30. Borough officials will review community and business response before deciding whether to extend or end the program.

This comparison image explains important distinctions such as who issued the warrant, whether it is signed by a judge, and what type of authority it carries.
This sample ICE Form I-205 is provided for educational purposes so residents may recognize the appearance of a federal immigration form and understand that it is not the same as a judicial court warrant.
A Korean-language version of the Know Your Rights guide is available for residents who prefer to review this information in Korean.
