Paramus Offers Discount to Veterans

Paramus will now be offering a discount to all veterans who reside in the borough. 

Mayor Richard LaBarbiera said Tuesday the governing body has decided to extend the discount offered to its volunteers for the municipal pool, golf course and recreation facilities to those who can show veteran status and their families.

A disabled veteran had brought this to their attention recently and in less than one months time the council has taken action to offer this to these members of the community, he said.

“It was something that had been overlooked and I commend the council for bringing this to my attention,” said the mayor.

Information can be obtained through the newly formed Office of Veterans Affairs which is run by Sam Casiello, former councilman.

At the end of May the borough formally dedicated the office, which is housed next to the senior center on Farview Avenue, which serves as resource center for veterans.  For more information email veteranaffairsofficer@paramusborough.org.
