Volunteers clean-up Liberty Park

Volunteers make effort to revitalize Liberty Park

This morning,  Saturday, September 13, at 9:00 am, a group of volunteers will participate in the reconstruction of Liberty Park, located at the corner of Chestnut and Hennessey Streets, in the heart of the Ironbound. The event will be made up of students from East Side High School, Ironbound residents, members of the Ironbound Community Corporation and employees of the following companies: Weston Solutions, The Environmental Quality Company, The Pudding Stone Group, The RBA Group, The Sherwin Williams Company and TestAmerica, Inc.

This project was prepared and coordinated by Councilman Augusto Amador and with the support of Mayor Cory Booker - both are scheduled to be present to the occasion.
