South Amboy – The mayor highlighted the city's projects this year in the annual speech of the city state.

Henry said that the driver in New York Waterway Ferry Service is up to about 6,000 per month and that the permanent docking facilities and the parking lot are almost 70% completely and on the right track to open them later this year.

Pump station

The city will replace the old Raritan Street Pumping Station with permits and commandments, said Henry. The 6.6 million dollar project, which is mainly financed with a grant of almost 5 million US dollars of the Federal Economic Development Administration, will begin later this year and will be completed at the beginning of next year, he said.

Business

A new parking lot, on which another 80 parking spaces are added, will be built in the business district in the city center, which hopes to be completed by the end of the year.

The mayor said that the city also turned to business owners to transfer its messages to the public by the government's media sources.

The Sadie Pope Dowdell Library now has an intern of social work from Adelphi University, which helps the community to connect with various resources and transfers for psychological health problems, health care, substance consumption, living space, food support and more. All support is confidential and free, said Henry.

Manhattan Beach's project will start shortly and offer more access to public beach areas and create a beautiful natural hiking trail that will be accessible to the public, said the mayor.

budget

Henry also spoke about the city's budget, which was reduced compared to the previous year at 161,820 US dollars, which reduces urban taxes in an average rated house by $ 78.
