Video: Mayor Talks ‘Fort Lee News’ at Senior Center

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich tells seniors work on Redevelopment 5 could start in the spring

Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich spoke before a small but attentive crowd at the Fort Lee Senior Center Wednesday, discussing topics such as Redevelopment Area 5, the economy and traffic in the borough.

Touted by the Homeowners group as “Our Mayor, Mark Sokolich, on Fort Lee News,” Sokolich gave a springtime start date for work on Redevelopment 5. The Borough Council recently voted to extend by 90 days April’s settlement and escrow agreement that cleared the way for the two approximately eight-acre parcels of land to be developed.

A lengthy Q&A followed the mayor’s talk.
