Paramus Business Community Helping to Improve Intersection

Editor's note: This article has been updated to correct an earlier version which inadvertently ommited some of the groups involved.

Improvements to the Farview and Midland avenues intersection and Centennial Park Renovations - made possible by donations from businesses in town -  are nearing completion.

Most recently a 4-faced clock tower was installed at the traffic island made possible through donations from a long list of local businesses who have generously contributed funds, said Mukesh Malkan, Rotary project chairperson.

The project is a joint venture between three Rotary clubs - the Paramus Sunshine Rotary, Paramus Rotary and the Bergen Community College Rotary, explained Malkan.

Another new feature is an electronic community bulletin board which sits at the northeast corner which was donated by Prestige Motors. Electricity was installed in order to operate the clock and bulletin board and add architectural lighting to existing monuments.

Still to come is a flag pole and some other features may be planned, said Malkan.

A formal dedication of the clock tower is planned in the near future.
