Clark Officials Cut Ribbon On New Police And Court Building
The ceremony included a statement by the mayor, a look at a time-capsule to be enshrined within the building and a ribbon-cutting.
CLARK, NJ — Clark held a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the grand opening of the new Clark Police Headquarters and Municipal Court on Saturday.
"It's been a long time coming and we are proud to present this new space to our law enforcement officials and those they serve," said Clark Mayor Sal Bonaccorso. "We are also proud to have built it in a fiscally sound way so as not to burden the taxpayers of this town. May God bless those that serve here for all the years to come."
Attendees were then invited inside to dedicate the courtroom and council chambers to John Laezza, the former Business Administrator of Clark Township for 20 years. Laezza died at the age of 90 in May. Read More: Longtime Clark Business Administrator Dies At Age Of 90
