“A brand new recreation middle would convey new life to the City of West New York,” Cirillo stated. “We are going to by no means see an accessible property like this once more on the town and this can be a golden alternative to construct a good looking multilevel construction with loads of parking for the neighborhood included.”
However Sires, who's searching for to make a comeback as mayor after beforehand serving from 1995 to 2006, argued as an alternative that the lot, which is owned by the New Jersey College Improvement Authority, ought to as an alternative be used to construct a brand new college. The plan for a brand new college has already been accepted and has state funding behind it, Sires stated, whereas a recreation middle might go elsewhere as an alternative.
“We will have each a brand new recreation middle and a brand new college on the town,” he stated. “Why would we even take into account turning away hundreds of thousands of state dollars which can be already dedicated for West New York which may by no means be accessible once more for a brand new college? That doesn’t sound very ahead pondering.”
