State of NJ to Introduce New Property Tax Relief Programs

The State of New Jersey will introduce a new Property Tax Relief Program in 2025. Applications for this program are anticipated to become available by late February or early March 2025. This program, known as Stay NJ, will supplement the existing Property Tax Reimbursement (PTR) and Anchor Program. Eligible residents will have the ability to apply for all three programs using a single, streamlined application.

Further details and supporting documents will be provided by the Township's Tax Collector’s Office as they become available.

Additionally, the Township will host a public information session to assist eligible residents aged 65 and older with the application process for these programs. Details regarding the session will be announced in the coming months.

Clark Recreation Announces Volunteer of the Year

Recreation Director Ralph Bernardo proudly presented the 2024 Volunteer Resident of the Year Award at the January 21st Council Meeting, recognizing an outstanding individual who has dedicated countless hours to supporting the community.

“So many residents offer their services and volunteer their time to help the recreation department throughout the year,” said Bernardo. “We are deeply appreciative of all the parents who coach teams, hold classes, assist with major events, and step up whenever we need help. While there’s little we can do to fully express our gratitude, we take this opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank those who go above and beyond.”

This year’s honoree, Kim Baglieri, embodies the spirit of volunteerism. Since moving to Clark 24 years ago, Kim has consistently supported the Recreation Department, UNICO, and the township at large. Her dedication shines through her involvement in the setup and cleanup of beloved community events, including the Tree Lighting, Trunk-or-Treat, Easter Egg Hunt, and the UNICO Italian Feast, to name just a few.

“Kim’s unselfish contributions and tireless efforts make her an invaluable part of our community,” Bernardo added. “We congratulate her and extend our heartfelt thanks for her unwavering commitment to making Clark a better place.”

Clark Recreation is proud to celebrate the contributions of volunteers like Kim Baglieri and looks forward to continuing its mission of fostering a vibrant and engaged community.
