Being a priority for my administration, our team at the County had been working with the Bergen legislative delegation since 2018 to change NJ fiscal bond law to allow these purchases just like any other SUV or truck and thankfully the change was signed into law last November.

Mahwah NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco is excited to announce that construction has officially started on the highly anticipated Darlington Golf Course driving range renovation. Over the past several weeks crews have been working to take down the old and weathered wooden support poles at the range. Early next year, they will be replaced with much larger 150 foot modern steel poles that will support a much thicker and high strength polyester breakaway netting system. Once complete the new system will allow the range to endure intense weather conditions and further extend play time for golfers at the range. The Parks Department is anticipating the range to re-open in late spring next year. This investment once again furthers our goal of offering golf enthusiasts of all abilities a country club experience at public course prices.
