He pledged that his administration would remain committed to finding ways to realize savings through shared service opportunities and also continue the County’s critical mission of caring for Bergen County’s most vulnerable residents by supporting mental health services, the County’s public hospital Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, and the County’s Food Security Task Force.
Telegraphing future plans, Tedesco also unveiled several initiatives for the coming year including breaking ground on a new workforce housing project for entry level workers, a refresh of park amenities in Saddle River County Park, updating the County’s Master Plan for the first time in 60 years, and continuing to spearhead a solution to Bergen County’s largest infrastructure headache – the State Route 17 bottleneck.
