Summary of the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan Needs Assessment Overview Essex County expects to receive approximately $5.4 million annually from HUD through the CDBG program, $1,200,000 through the HOME program and $460,000 through the ESG program over the next five years. These funds, along with any program income earned and prior year resources, will be used to leverage other public and private resources in the housing, public facilities, public services, and eliminating homelessness. At the time this plan was being finalized the COVID-19 pandemic was hitting the New York / New Jersey metropolitan area which will greatly impact the region. The significant public health crisis created by the virus will have unpredictable impacts on Essex County that will likely be felt for a long duration. The county will rely on further guidance from HUD with regard to utilizing CPD funding to mitigate the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. 3. Evaluation of past performance The Division of Housing & Community Development reviewed the goals and outcomes for the past several years. The results of the evaluation of several programs, guided the priorities and minor changes to existing programs funded with HUD programmatic funds. Quality affordable housing continues to be in short supply in Essex County. The County's increase in the subsidy available for low- income first time homebuyers in 2015 did not achieve the desired results in expanded homeownership. In the 2015 implemented plan, the County provided up to $50,000 dollars for down payment and closing costs through the HOME program. The County's projections for new homebuyer units through the program were not fully realized. The funds allocated for first time homebuyer activities were fully expended but over a longer time frame than expected. An analysis of the current ACS data indicates there is still a severe housing cost burden in the County's HOME Consortium. The Division therefore is recommending to maintain the subsidy amount of up to $50,000 to those low-income homebuyers that qualify. Consolidated Plan ESSEX COUNTY 1 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 06/30/2018) 4. Summary of citizen participation process and consultation process In accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987 and the National Affordable Housing Act of 1992, the Division of Housing and Community Development considers the Citizen Participation component to be integral to the Consolidated Plan process. Although the County places particular emphasis on participation from residents of low and moderate-income areas, the programs and projects that are initiated as a result of the Consolidated Plan benefit all County residents. Therefore, all citizens are encouraged to participate in the development of the 5-year Consolidated Plan. Additionally, the County includes the Township of Bloomfield in this process because of their involvement in the HOME consortium. To meet these requirements, the Division of Housing and Community Development has prepared the following Citizen Participation Plan outlining the Division’s objectives and how they will be accomplished. I. Objective: To involve citizens and program beneficiaries in the 2020-2024 Consolidated Plan development process. ·Create a communication structure to understand constituent needs, develop a market analysis, and identify strategies. This can include public hearings, information published in newspapers and meetings in the community to offer citizens the opportunity to attend. Information is compiled and transferred to the appropriate Sub-Committee, to

  • Montclair's Train Stations
    Montclair’s Train Stations Compiled by Montclair History Center Trustee, Helen Fallon September, 2018 l www.montclairhistory.org l [email protected] Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue • Montclair has six train stations. • There have been three different train station buildings at this Bloomfield Avenue site. • Rail service to this Bloomfield Avenue station began in 1856, when Montclair was still known as West Bloomfield. The line was first operated by the Newark & Bloomfield Rail Company; shortly thereafter it became part of the Morris & Essex Railroad; and in 1868 the line became part of the Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad (DL&W).1 • The first station, from the mid-1800s, was fairly simple – seen in the photos and drawing that follow. • From this Montclair terminus, commuters or travelers (or goods) could ride to Hoboken, where they would switch to the ferry to New York City. Travel time was said to be 1.5 hours each way. First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue First Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue Second Lackawanna Station 291 Bloomfield Avenue • The next series of maps and photos show the second station building—a bit more elegant than the first, but, in keeping with other train stations of the time, designed to accommodate freight as much as passengers. • The map details – from 1890 and 1906 – show the extensive network of sidings and some of the industrial/commercial uses around the station. • I especially enjoy the photo with the white Borden’s Condensed Milk carriages lined up next to the train—either loading or unloading.

  • 3.2: Station Access and Parking
    3.2 Station Access and Parking 3.2 Station Access and Parking A. INTRODUCTION NEW JERSEY Potential Build and No Build Alternative additions to certain parking facilities at NJ TRANSIT commuter rail stations are considered in this section. Parking at stations is provided by NJ TRANSIT, municipalities, and/or private operators throughout New Jersey. In Orange and Rockland Counties in New York, station parking is provided in coordination with Metro-North Railroad. Orange and Rockland Counties are assessed in this section because the parking analysis is based on NJ TRANSIT line segment, i.e., those groupings of stations that share similar service patterns and are close to one another (Figure 3.2-1). The analysis was completed at the segment level rather than at the station level, given the close station spacing (e.g., many stations are within 1 to 2 miles of each other), population densities in northern and central New Jersey and the connectivity of the local and regional roadway network throughout New Jersey. Because some NJ TRANSIT rail lines are located close to each other, passengers can choose between two rail lines depending on the availability of parking. This situation occurs with the individual Main and Bergen County Line segments, and also applies to other locations, such as stations along the Gladstone Branch and the Raritan Valley Line. As a result, shortfalls in parking demand can realistically be addressed at any station within a given segment, using a range of options from new construction of spaces to increased transit access, such as expansion of bus lines or implementation of community shuttle services.
