NEW YORK: The Clark Chamber of Commerce met on Wednesday morning for its regular monthly meeting. The breakfast meeting was hosted by TAP into Clark and was well-attended by township officials and members of the Clark business community.
Clark Business Administrator John Laezza reported that attempts to form a special improvement district, or SID, along Westfield Avenue had been unsuccessful. The exploration of the SID was the result of a meeting held in March, 2015, during which various options to implement improvements along the avenue were discussed.
“It looks like they [property owners] don’t want to put up any money,” Laezza said. “We will look for an alternate plan to try to accommodate and upgrade our downtown area.”
According to Laezza, the sale of property along Terminal Avenue had recently been completed and L’Oreal is close to finalizing a $300 million research and development building project in the area.
“Next year will be a great year,” Laezza said. “Clark will continue to grow sufficiently to make sure we are still number one in the county.”
