Expressing his joy and gratitude, Mayor Amatorio took to Facebook to thank everyone. “Huge Win! From the bottom of my heart and my entire team, thank you so much Bergenfield.” 

Amatorio recently completed the first phase of a community enhancement project in Bergenfield, which involved the installation of lights in Vivyen Field to extend its usability into the evening.
