Massa: Our Anti-EnCap stand is vindicated

Release Date: Jan 24 2007

NORTH ARLINGTON - North Arlington Mayor Peter Massa today said EnCap's decision to back out of a controversial bonding scheme is vindication for the Councilmembers and North Arlington residents who oppose the embattled high-density housing project.

EnCap has insisted for months the current financing as presented was financially viable. They are now forced to go back to the drawing board with a new application that protects homeowners in North Arlington, Lyndhurst and Rutherford from financial risk. This application may not be ready for months.

The same survey, done by Neighborhood Research, gives Democrat Peter Massa a 31-point lead in the race for Mayor over Republican Peter Norcia, and Bergen County Executive Dennis McNerney a ten-point lead against his GOP challenger, Todd Caliguire.
