United Way of Northern New Jersey

The fund was established by Manuel Roger Costa’s family following his death earlier this month at the age of 75.  

United Way of Northern New Jersey is offering free tax preparation and filing services.

Proceeds from the event will help low-income households in Morris, Somerset, Suburban Essex, Sussex and Warren counties.

It’s just under a month before students start to return to school.

If the United Way building does not include a township-operated senior center, it will not be able to go ahead with its planned renovations, since the senior center was a condition of the Board of Adjustment giving its approval. 

In an announcement Wednesday, township officials cited “financials proposed by the United Way representative far [exceeding] comparable market norms for municipal facilities and what the Township could afford – even prior to the pandemic” in their decision.

United Way officials plan to renovate the building and parking area, with space on the first floor for a community center that is expected to be used primarily by seniors and operated by the township.
