If You Are Reading This, Thank You

We are currently halfway through National Newspaper Week, which runs from October 7 through 13, and we wanted to say “thank you” to all who read our paper. Of course, great journalism is found both in print and online (and the Tribune is available in both formats), but we are happy we live in a town that largely values the tactile feel of holding a physical paper in their hands as they consume the weekly news. To us, and to many others, there is nothing quite like it.

Listening to the Residents

On Tuesday evening, representatives of Essex County presented preliminary plans for the improvements of Livingston’s Riker Hill Art Park, located off Beaufort Avenue. The 42-acre complex was purchased from the federal government for one dollar in 1974. The buildings, which once housed army facilities, have been transformed into 38 artist studios which are greatly in need of refurbishing. Last January, the county held a forum to seek residents’ input for the site, and this week’s meeting was a result of the suggestions made in January.

County Officials Outline Plans To Improve Riker Hill Art Park

Essex County officials held a public meeting at Town Hall on Tuesday, October 9, to present plans for improvements to Riker Hill Art Park with roughly two dozen neighbors and residents in attendance.

Essex County executive Joseph DiVincenzo noted that a meeting had been held in January to solicit public input on improving the site, which was formerly a Nike missile base and is currently an artists’ colony. Based on neighbors’ concerns and suggestions, a preliminary plan was subsequently developed which calls for renovations to the existing buildings and the creation of a community garden and a scenic overlook. The county has set aside a budget of $4 million to make the improvements. County officials hope to have construction underway by July 1, 2019.
