Perth Amboy nominated for federal Opportunity Zone designation

PERTH AMBOY – The city has been nominated for designation as a federal Opportunity Zone, a move officials say could attract private investment in local businesses, housing and neighborhood redevelopment. Gov. Mikie Sherrill submitted 130 New Jersey census tracts for federal designation, the maximum allowed under federal law. The recommendations were submitted to the U.S. Department of the Treasury and are not yet final. The Opportunity Zone program provides tax incentives to qualifying private investors who make long-term investments in designated low-income census tracts. Investments may support commercial properties, eligible businesses and housing developments. “Perth Amboy has tremendous potential, and this nomination gives us another opportunity to build on the investment and redevelopment already taking place across our city,” Mayor Helmin J. Caba said. The state selected the nominated tracts after a four-month outreach process involving counties and eligible municipalities. Officials considered community priorities, investment readiness, housing access, transit-oriented development and the risk of displacement. The city will wait for federal action before identifying which properties could qualify under a final designation.

Sayreville Democrats Flip Council, Stripping GOP Mayor's Tie-Breaking Power

Sayreville voters handed Democrats full control of the borough council, unseating two Republican incumbents and setting the stage for a political shake-up that could strip the mayor of his tie-breaking power. Unofficial results from Tuesday's election show Democrats Bernie Bailey and Dexter Thomas defeating Republican Councilmen John Zebrowski and Michael Colaci, a result that will leave Sayreville with a 5-1 Democratic majority once the new council is sworn in come January 2027.

NY Republican claims ‘stolen’ election after blue wave, local vote machine chaos

The only Republican on the Westchester County Board of Legislators is refusing to concede to a Democrat in his bid for reelection — claiming the election was “stolen” from him because of local vote machine chaos . County Legislator James Nolan made the wild statement as he trailed Democratic challenger Kisha D. Skipper by 246 votes in his reelection bid, according to unofficial results from the Westchester County Board of Elections. Board of Legislators candidate James Nolan claims the election was stolen from him in a Facebook photo post. Facebook/James Nolan Nolan, who represents portions of Yonkers, Bronxville, and Eastchester, was in position to lose his seat after days of ballot counting following a widespread programming glitch on Election Day in Westchester County that saw voting machines unable to scan paper ballots. The race was already ensnared in controversy when Skipper was handcuffed and detained by cops after a restroom brawl with Nolan’s mother at a candidates’ forum in Yonkers last month. “Following a massive countywide voting machine shutdown on Election Day, I have serious concerns about what took place, and the timing of these failures raises questions that demand answers,” Nolan said in a statement after ballots were counted
