Two weeks after breaking ground on a $106.4 million government complex in Paterson, Passaic County went to court to secure a 242-square-foot strip of neighboring property after it was unable to reach a deal with the owner. The county filed an eminent domain lawsuit seeking temporary use of the neighboring land for two years to access the construction site. The county offered $5,600 to use 241.9 square feet of a commercial property at 332-344 Main St. for two years but could not reach an agreement with its owner, Empire Package LLC, said a complaint filed Oct. 27 in state Superior Court. Story continues below photo gallery. The property borders the former Passaic County Jail site at 11 Marshall St., where a six-story office building and parking garage are planned. The county had the land appraised in September by Wade Appraisal LLC of Metuchen. The firm valued it at $115 per square foot and used a 10% annual rental rate to calculate the cost of the two-year easement. That came to $5,564, with no additional damages assessed for the rest of the property. The county set its offer at $5,600 and sent it by mail Sept. 25, with another copy delivered

Morris County Republicans, already bracing for change on the county and local level after a "Blue Wave" midterm election, are facing another seismic shift in the political landscape, this time from within their own party. State Sen. Joseph Pennacchio, the conservative Republican firebrand who has represented much of Morris County in District 26 since 2001, announced his retirement on Nov. 10, effective at the end of his current term in January 2028. His statement set off a flurry of campaign announcements from other Morris Republicans seeking his Senate seat and other higher offices. “I have entered the seventh decade of my life, and I have been doing this for a long time," Pennacchio told the Daily Record. “After much thought and reflection, I have come to the decision that my service in elected office should draw to an end with the completion of my current term.” Soon after Pennacchio made his announcement, longtime Republican District 26 Assemblyman Jay Webber made his own declaration that he would run for Pennacchio's Senate seat in the 2027 election, when all 40 Senate and 80 Assembly seats are on the ballot. Webber, who has served in the Assembly since 2008, ran for Congress in

Add strong schools, thousands of acres of public parkland and direct train access to Manhattan and it’s easy to see why many stay for decades. The county is also steeped in history. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington’s Continental Army set up their winter encampments in and around Morristown.
