Teaneck is moving its Department of Public Works operations to a new, modern facility it will build on leased land next to Leonia's DPW, a 50-year deal endorsed by both councils. The move could let Teaneck sell and redevelop its current River Road site, while officials promise improved services, better working conditions, and efforts to keep recycling drop-off within township limits.
Why it matters
The relocation of Teaneck's DPW operations from its current River Road site could open up that prime real estate for redevelopment, potentially transforming the area. This move is part of a broader effort by Teaneck and Bergen County to upgrade public facilities and parks, including plans to shape the future of Overpeck County Park.
The details
Under the deal, Teaneck will build a new DPW facility on land leased from Leonia, allowing the township to potentially sell and redevelop its current River Road site. Officials say the new facility will provide improved services and better working conditions for DPW employees. The agreement also includes efforts to keep a recycling drop-off location within Teaneck's borders.
- Teaneck and Leonia councils have endorsed the 50-year land lease deal for the new DPW facility.
- The relocation of Teaneck's DPW operations from River Road is expected to happen in the next 12-18 months.
