Union County residents and visitors can learn about distinctive trees in Union County parks by following specially marked “tree trails.” Each tree can be identified by a green and white tag on its trunk, featuring the name of its species along with a QR code that links to more details online.

The tree trails are a project of the Master Tree Stewards of Union County, a volunteer program run by the Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Union County with support from the Union County Commissioner Board.

“The tree trails provide our residents and visitors with new opportunities to learn about the natural systems preserved by our County parks, and we thank the Master Tree Steward volunteers for their efforts to raise public awareness about the importance of trees throughout our community,” said Union County Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados. “Trees are essential to the ecosystem of our parks and to the quality of life in our neighborhoods, too.”

The most recent addition to the tree trail project was created last summer in Union County’s Conant Park in Hillside. The trees were marked by a group of certified Master Tree Stewards including project organizer Dean Talcott along with Eileen Martines, Clare Minick, Carol Puchalski, Tom Beisler, Mike Dimakos and Jerry Petz.

Visitors to the new Conant Park tree trail can identify Green Ash, Pin Oak, Black Locust, Red Cedar, Norway Maple, Gray Birch, Sugar Maple, London Plane Tree, Black Birch, American Beech, Northern Red Oak, Tulip Tree, American Sycamore, Silver Maple, White Ash, American Basswood, Northern Catalpa and Sweetgum.

Additional Union County tree trails are located in:

• Oak Ridge Park in Clark (trail starts near the east end of the parking lot)
• Briant Park in Summit
• Cedar Brook in Plainfield
• Echo Lake Park in Mountainside
• Echo Lake Extension (trail starts behind the Mountainside municipal building)
• Meisel Park in Springfield
• Nomahegan Park in Cranford
• Phil Rizzuto Park in Elizabeth
• Rahway River Park in Rahway
• Sensory Friendly Trail in Mountainside
• Warinanco Park in Elizabeth

The Union County Board of County Commissioners in conjunction with the Union County Department of Human Services’ Division of Children and Youth Services will participate in a Global Youth Service Day on April 28, 2023. This program is a coordinated national event where youth worldwide conduct community service projects and activities that benefit their communities.

“Here in Union County, we advocate for service and giving back, so as part of my 2023 Chairman’s Initiatives, “Building a Stronger Union County,” Global Youth Service Day falls in line perfectly with that,” said Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados. “A big part of who we are is reaching out to the community, donating or providing assistance to those in need. This particular day offers an opportunity for young people to find their voice, take action, and make a positive impact in their communities.”

This year, Union County Youth will participate in the day of service category: Hunger Projects. With full support from the Mayors and officials of the participating municipalities, the Division of Children and Youth Services is partnering with several cities and high schools to organize snack collection sites where youth and their families can drop off donated items.

All donations will be collected and distributed to youth who attend programming in the new Union County Community Drop-In Centers (UCCDIC), which will soon be launched at four sites throughout the county, including: Roselle, Rahway, Plainfield, and Hillside. UCCDIC will offer youth, ages ten (10) to eighteen (18), positive youth development programming to engage young people in productive activities where their options may otherwise be limited.

The Union County Board of County Commissioners would like to announce a special event for women looking to take charge of their financial futures, titled: Sip Your Way to Financial Success.

“The Sip Your Way to Financial Success event will provide a fun and informative setting for women to learn about financial planning and wealth management. We hope this event will empower and inspire women to take charge of their financial lives,” said Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados. “This is a remarkable opportunity for attendees to network with other women in Union County, share laughs and learn about the information they need to make great economic decisions.”

The financial readiness workshop is being presented by margFINANCIAL and Securian Financial. Residents are invited to attend the event, enjoy a bite to eat and sample great wines, while mingling with other remarkable women.

“Everyone is welcome to join us for an evening of information about how to strategically manage your finances,” said Commissioner Vice-Chairwoman Kimberly Palmieri-Mouded. “This event is designed to make women feel comfortable and build their confidence about their finances.  Participants will have the opportunity to meet other women of all backgrounds in order to grow their networks. I encourage women to come, invite a friend and register today.”

The event will be held on Wednesday, May 10, 2023 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Hill Tavern, located at 3 Golf Drive in Kenilworth, NJ.

Participants must be 21 and over to attend. Tickets are $20.00 and guests should purchase and register at www.ucnj.org/women. Space is limited.

Earlier this afternoon, Union County Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados, along with Senate President Nicholas P. Scutari, Senator Joseph Cryan, Assemblyman Reginald Atkins, Roselle Public Library Board of Trustees President Georgette Bradshaw and Roselle Mayor Donald Shaw, spoke at the groundbreaking ceremony of the Roselle Public Library’s renovation and expansion project. Also in attendance were Union County Commissioners, members of the Union County Improvement Authority, members of the Roselle Public Library Board of Trustees and Roselle Council Members.

“Libraries are not just about providing books; they are about access to information, community, public spaces, workforce job centers, learning and literacy, and opportunities for personal and professional growth,” said Union County Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados. “I would like to thank the Union County Improvement Authority, the State of New Jersey, and the Borough of Roselle for working collaboratively with the County of Union on this project. It is through our strong partnership that we are able to create a place that will serve as a hub for Roselle residents and neighbors to come together and learn, explore or engage with each other. I am looking forward to seeing the completed project.”

The Roselle Public Library announced its plans for a major renovation and expansion project to update its almost 90-year-old building and better serve the community’s growing needs. With increased demand for library services, the current building is beyond its capacity due to limited space and outdated design.

The funding for this $16 million project comes from a $5.5 million State Library Grant; $6.5 million from the Borough of Roselle Bond funds and $4 million from the State Legislative Funds, which were awarded to the County of Union, which was then awarded to the Borough of Roselle for this project.

“We are always looking for ways we can help our municipalities across the state and, of course, here in Union County. To help offset supply chain issues, working with the UCIA, we were able to secure $4 million dollars in grant funding – and I am so proud that we could contribute this significant investment in Roselle’s future,” said Senate President Nicholas P. Scutari. “This library is a sign of our commitment to working with this Administration and Borough Council; in the spirit of collaboration, we are able to achieve great things for our residents at no additional expense to taxpayers.”

The proposed plans call for a 15,400 square foot addition, as well renovation of the existing building, incorporating traditional library services with modern technology, infrastructure, and resources. This will enable the Roselle Public Library to provide programming, resources, and library services that will ensure the well-being and success of the community for many years to come. The addition also includes a new Youth Services section encompassing both teen and children’s zones, with a program room and small study rooms on the newly built second floor. The first floor addition contains an accessible main entrance, expanded technology, adult collections, and flexible meeting areas and multipurpose rooms. There is a separate wing with program rooms. These areas provide more latitude to expand the library’s strong community programming, which ranges from early literacy to senior computer classes.

“This project is a testament to the importance of public libraries and their role in fostering community engagement, education, and growth,” said Senator Joseph Cryan, 20th Legislative District. “The Roselle Public Library has long been a treasured institution, and this expansion will ensure that it continues to serve as a vital resource for generations to come.”

The proposed library project is cost-effective and its design elements aspire to meet LEED certifications and create a sustainable, user-friendly environment that supports more efficient energy use. By incorporating adaptable infrastructure, the building also has the inherent flexibility to meet future technology needs.

“This library represents a forward-thinking vision for the Borough of Roselle and I’m so glad the Mayor and his administration, the Borough Council, County Improvement Authority, and our partners in the State Government were able to help see that vision to fruition,” said Assemblyman Reginald Atkins of the 20^th Legislative District.

“This was a great day for Roselle. This is what progress looks like. The proof is here with our State, County, and local governments who joined together to push this project forward,” said Roselle Mayor Donald Shaw. “This project is a fulfillment of Roselle’s tremendous potential, the fulfillment of what we are all capable of when we come together. This is good government at work and I’m so proud to live in a Borough that is focused on progress and focused on community.”

“The Roselle Library strives to inform, educate, enrich, entertain and empower our community by providing access to a vast and diverse array of information, activities and services,” said Roselle Public Library Board of Trustees President Georgette Bradshaw. “This expansion and renovation will more than double the size of the library. What a testament to our county government, the UCIA, the Borough government and the State Legislature that when at a time when libraries around the nation are under attack by having their funding cut or their offerings limited, here in Union County we’re expanding. Thank you on behalf of the Roselle Public Library Board of Trustees.”

This project was entrusted to be designed and built by the professionals working for the Union County Improvement Authority and is supported by funds raised by the Borough of Roselle, County of Union and from the New Jersey Construction Bond Act, administered by the New Jersey State Library.

The Roselle Library is located at 104 West 4^th Avenue in Roselle, NJ. For more information, please call the Union County Improvement Authority at 908-527-4250.
