During a photo op on Friday afternoon, Congressman Rob Menendez delivered a $1.2-million check to West New York officials to help the municipality construct its new, recreation center.
The recreation center, a multi-story structure, will be built adjacent to Miller Stadium.
It will be constructed beyond the outfield wall, across from a municipal parking lot.
According to Mayor Albio Sires, construction is expected to begin before the end of 2026. The building will provide residents with a state of the art facility for all kinds of sporting activities.
It will include a swimming pool.
