Your Guide to Living in Morris County

Morris County has a little bit of everything—a historic county seat with a diverse selection of restaurants, commuter towns with train stations, lake communities surrounded by New Jersey’s natural beauty, and rolling countryside where the next neighbor is a field away. 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.

Pennacchio retirement signals big shift in Morris County GOP politics

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

Vote for Orange County’s best locally owned diner in our poll

Everyone loves diners, whether it's for pancakes, eggs and coffee in the morning, a beefy burger for lunch or a filling family dinner, and there are many great local places to go. So what's the best diner in Orange County? That is the question in this week's Orange County Showdown poll.

But we have selected diners representing a cross-section of the entire county. So go to the poll below. If you see one of your favorites there, let us know what it is. The poll will be open until midnight on Nov. 12. We'll report the results the following day. Mike Randall covers breaking news for the Times Herald-Record and the Poughkeepsie Journal.

Developer proposes 91-unit Paterson complex amid crowding complaints

PATERSON — A developer wants to build 91 apartments on four properties on North Seventh Street, which, if completed, would be one of the largest housing projects in the 1st Ward in more than a decade. The area where Bent Avenue Real Estate Holdings wants to construct the apartments is zoned for single-family homes and apartment buildings with four units. The developer would need Paterson Zoning Board of Adjustment approval because its plans would surpass the neighborhood’s density regulations. At present, four buildings each containing four apartments stand on the site. They would be demolished under Bent Avenue’s application and replaced by a four-story building containing seven studio apartments, 43 one-bedroom units, 34 two-bedroom units and seven three-bedroom apartments. Story continues below photo gallery. A project of that size requires 158 parking spaces, but the plans provide for 148, the city’s zoning board agenda said. Councilman Michael Jackson, who represents the 1st Ward, said he doesn’t see how the proposal would benefit city residents. “All of this overbuilding is a disservice to Paterson,” Jackson said, adding that the rents being charged for new apartments in the city exceed what residents can afford to pay. Mayor Andre Sayegh’s economic development director,
