During her years as library director, Nancy Adamczyk remembers her “delight in working with Peggy, who joined the board in 1996 and served in several board positions during my tenure.”

She remembers Peggy being “so helpful in all aspects of the Friends’ activities – setting up the Bottle Hill Day booth, planting the library courtyard flower pots, organizing volunteers to complete mailings and to assist at Touch a Truck event.”

All are invited to attend the April 22 Annual Benefit at Grace Church at 4 Madison Ave.. Wine, beer, and a variety of hors d’oeuvres catered by the Thursday Morning Club will be served.

Invitations are being sent to library donors and are available at the library’s front desk. Reservations are $75.00 per person. Checks should be made payable to Friends of the Madison Public Library and mailed to 39 Keep St., Madison, N.J. 07940, along with the RSVP card.

Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-11, delivers Valentine’s Day cards to seniors

MORRIS COUNTY — Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-11, and her Parsippany office collected and delivered 6,000 Valentine’s Day cards to District 11 seniors written by residents of the 11th District.

To kick off Valentine’s Day, the Congresswoman delivered cards and spoke with residents from the Crane’s Mill retirement community in West Caldwell.

“The outpouring of support for our seniors so heartens me. Valentine’s Day is a great time to support each other, and I know that these cards have brightened so many seniors’ day,” said Rep. Sherrill.

“Special thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s Valentines for Seniors program. Everyone got in the spirit from schools to public libraries to local businesses, and together we spread Valentine’s Day love to thousands of seniors throughout North Jersey.”

This program is part of a series of community appreciation initiatives by Congresswoman Sherrill and her team, such as “Thanksgiving Thank-Yous for Veterans,” which resulted in over 6,800 thank-you notes delivered to veterans in the community last year, and “2022 Heroes,” celebrating the everyday heroes in the district that inspire.

HANOVER TOWNSHIP — Flood waters from the Whippany and Passaic Rivers and their tributaries have caused humanitarian and economic losses to the thousands of inhabitants who live or operate businesses in Hanover, East Hanover, Parsippany, Florham Park, Morris Plains, and Morristown. Stormwater runoff from countless storms, including a lack of maintenance in keeping the river channels free and clear of debris, reached a critical point last year when Hanover Township Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher,  Florham Park Mayor Mark Taylor, and East Hanover Township Mayor Joseph Pannullo decided that it was time to join forces and take action.

Hanover Township Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher

On February 18, 2022, the Mayors and their professional engineers met with Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill to enlist her support in developing a  plan, including the need for federal funds.

The outgrowth of the meeting was the creation of the Whippany and Passaic Rivers Flood Mitigation Task Force. Working with the staff of Congresswoman Sherrill, the Task Force submitted a $1.5 million dollar Fiscal Year 2023 Community Project grant under the sponsorship of Ms. Sherrill. In December 2022, the Task Force was informed that the funding application was included in the Federal Fiscal Year 2023 Omnibus Spending Bill approved by the United States Congress.

The allocation of these funds will be used for the first phase of a multi-year, multi-phase project in the de-snagging of the Whippany River with the removal of dangerous obstructions and debris. Stabilizing streambanks, sediment removal, and re-establishing and replanting vegetation along the streambanks to minimize erosion and improve stormwater flow will require significant additional grant funds in the coming years.

At a meeting on January 25, the Mayors of the  Townships of Hanover, East Hanover, and Parsippany and the Boroughs of Florham Park and Morris Plains agreed to enter into a Shared Services Agreement to move the project further without delay. The Township of Hanover will serve as the Lead Agency.

County Commissioner Stephen Shaw

The Town of Morristown will soon join this collaborative undertaking. In addition, the County of Morris is also working with the Task Force, with County Commissioner Stephen Shaw attending meetings and serving as a liaison.

On February 15, 2023, the Task Force again met with Congresswoman. Sherrill to thank her for “shepherding” the grant and to strategize in moving the project forward.  Mayor Thomas “Ace” Gallagher noted that….” while we are in a good place to take the first step, we have a lot of hard work ahead of us in the coming years.”  Mayor Gallagher pointed out that the Task Force is a regional partnership looking to remediate a long-standing problem that seriously jeopardizes the health, safety, and welfare of those towns along the Whippany and Passaic Rivers. “Government has to be about collaborating and solving problems together to improve the quality of life for our residents.

In summing up the meeting, Gallagher asserted that….”In cooperation with Congresswoman Sherrill’s office, we are working extremely hard to mitigate flooding in our area. This approach can serve as a good model or template for municipalities to follow in resolving other common, regional issues.”

Congresswoman Mikie Sherrill

After the meeting, Congresswoman Sherrill and all the participating Mayors posed for a photograph with an imitation poster board check in the amount of $1.5 million dollars representing the actual award.

MORRIS COUNTY — With Valentine’s Day 2023 marking one year since the Morris County Small Business Grant Program launched, the Board of County Commissioners presented one of the program’s final grant approvals to the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC) at its headquarters as local dignitaries and business owners gathered this morning for a celebration.

Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce President Robert Peluso

“On behalf of our Board of Directors and myself, we are honored to receive the Morris County Small Business Grant and to be recognized as a leading organization that supports our community.  We would also like to thank our Morris County Commissioners and the supporters of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” said Robert Peluso, President of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce.

The Morris County Board of County Commissioners launched the Small Business Grant Program exactly one year ago, on Valentine’s Day 2022, with the slogan, “We Love Small Businesses.” It was a unique use of federal ARPA funding to aid local small companies, entrepreneurs, and non-profits impacted by the pandemic.

Morris County Commissioner Director John Krickus

“Morris County was not included for the first round of COVID funding provided by the U.S. Government. We (the Commissioners) decided to make unique use of the ARPA funds by giving back to our small businesses and non-profits. When a last-minute rush of applications came through, we allocated an additional $1.3 million. The Small Business Grant Program was a huge success thanks to everyone involved,” stated Morris County Commissioner Director John Krickus.

At a press conference hosted by the PACC, the County Commissioners extended a heartfelt thank you to the county staff whose hard work made the program successful. They also thanked the Morris County Chamber of Commerce and the Morris County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC), who were partners in helping businesses to apply for the grants. The board also thanked consulting firms Solix, Inc., and Tetra Tech, who have assisted in processing the grants and the ARPA funding, and Valley National Bank, which volunteered staff and laptops to aid small business owners in filing applications.

Representatives of the companies, the MCEDC, and the Morris County Chamber of Commerce attended the press conference.

The PACC, a membership-driven, nonprofit organization, also helped distribute grant applications last year to businesses throughout the Parsippany Township region and link them to other programs designed to keep local businesses going through difficult times.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and our Chamber recognizes the effects of shut-downs, supply chain disruptions, employee retention, and inflated pricing.  Although we are a membership-driven organization, we waived our membership dues and our event fees during the pandemic, and we continue to offer free events,” Peluso added.

Since its initial launch exactly one year ago, businesses and nonprofits throughout Morris County have benefited from the Small Business Grant Program. When the application portal officially closed on Friday, September 30, 2022, $11.3 million had been allocated to the program. Some of the last remaining applications are still being processed, with approximately 850 applications expected to clear overall.

Parsippany-Troy Hills Mayor James Barberio speaks at the Press Conference.

Parsippany-Troy Hills  Mayor James Barberio and Council President Loretta Gragnani also attended the event and praised the Small Business Grant Program.

“This was a fantastic program that supported local businesses that needed help,” stated Parsippany-Troy Hills Council Vice President Michael dePierro.

The program is winding down, and the last few grants are being delivered by mail. Today marked the last public, in-person delivery of a grant by the Commissioners.
