Description

PARAMUS, NJ — Congressman Josh Gottheimer announced that, as a part of a bill voted on by the U.S. House of Representatives recently, 10 North Jersey projects received congressional approval for funding. These projects were submitted on behalf of Fifth District governments and transit agencies, and vary from medical center renovations to a water treatment facility in Ridgewood. The federal investment for North Jersey passed the U.S. House of Representatives in HR 4502, including all ten of the community projects submitted by Gottheimer. Now, the Community Project Funding proposals now must be passed by the Senate and signed into law by the President. Among those 10 projects to gain congressional approval is the Paramus Borough Prospect Avenue Sewer Pump Station Project, which seeks $250,000 to improve sewage services in Paramus, Gottheimer's Office said. "Critical federal investment that will move North Jersey forward and make our residents' lives better has passed the House — a huge win for the Fifth District," said Gottheimer. "Our ten community project proposals will not only improve local transit systems, infrastructure, health care and clean water access, but they will also help lower the property tax burden on our residents. With the passage of this investment in the House, we are one step closer to bringing much needed federal dollars back to our North Jersey communities."
