The Passaic County government meeting on September 18, 2025, focused on the opening of a new satellite office in West Milford, aimed at expanding essential services for local residents. This initiative is designed to improve access to public health, behavioral health, and senior nutrition programs, addressing significant needs within the community.

During the meeting, officials highlighted the importance of this project, particularly for seniors and families who previously faced long travel distances to obtain necessary health and wellness services. The new office will consolidate various resources under one roof, making it easier for residents to access the support they require.

Mayor Dale of West Milford played a crucial role in bringing this project to fruition, emphasizing the collaboration between government, labor, and community partners. Brian Jackson, representing the building trades, also spoke about the local job creation resulting from this initiative, which is supported by project labor agreements.

The meeting underscored the commitment to equity and accessibility in healthcare services, ensuring that residents of West Milford and the surrounding northern areas of Passaic County can receive vital assistance closer to home. This development marks a significant step forward in addressing the health and wellness needs of the community.
