Northwest Resiliency Park

Construction continues on the 5-acre Northwest Resiliency Park, which will be New Jersey’s largest resiliency park. The park will have above and below ground infrastructure to withhold up to 2 million gallons of rainwater to help mitigate local flooding. The contractor will undertake the following activities next week:

• Construir la capa de arcilla subgrade y revestimiento para el campo atlético multiuso.
• Construir fundaciones de hormigón para los edificios.
• Reinicia el sistema de bomba de un millón de galones de tanque en preparación para la próxima construcción de la estación de bomba a lo largo de la calle 13 por la Autoridad de Alcantarillado de Hudson del Norte, programada para comenzar a finales de diciembre.
• Comience la construcción de los jardines de lluvia “de las tierras bajas” en las esquinas de la cuadra 1200 de la calle Adams.

The City uses a combination of low interest and interest-free loans, principal forgiveness for the resiliency features, and grant money to save over $19 million over the life of the project. The Northwest Resiliency Park also utilizes the Open Space Trust Fund to pay for the construction costs of the Northwest Park, and is not utilizing any funding from the 2020 municipal budget.
