Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco hosted delegates and students from our Sister County, Hapcheon County in South Korea, at One Bergen County Plaza last week. Bergen County is the home to an ever-growing Korean community . Tedesco said he is, “proud of our shared economic and cultural goals with Hapcheon County. What a joy to meet these bright, young minds!”
