The UCIA has committed $5 million to establish a revolving capital equipment and leasing loan program (the “Program”).  The Program would operate on a first come, first served basis with likely two issuances per year. Local Units would make a request for funding to secure, among other things, playground equipment, improve recreational facilities, acquire passenger vehicles and SUVs, and similar improvements at lower costs. Under the Program, Local Units will be able to finance (i) various capital equipment and capital improvements through a loan and security agreement with the Authority and (ii) the acquisition of capital equipment by the Authority and leasing thereof to the Local Units through a lease with the Authority.  Local Units would be required to adopt a full faith and credit ordinance that would guarantee their lease or loan payments to the Authority. Interest rates and costs would be determined by the Authority in consultation with its municipal advisor. The program will also include a leasing component that will not require down payment for certain equipment with the Authority maintaining title to the equipment.

The Roselle “Memorial” Public Library is undergoing a major renovation and new addition project that is 75% complete.  The construction will transform the current library into a state-of-the-art learning library facility and hub for community events and continued education.

The existing single story approximate 5,500 SF library built in 1940 has been completely renovated to include areas for technology commons, periodicals, reading area and adult collection. The original plaster cove ceiling was restored along with existing brick masonry façade being repointed along with a new synthetic slate roof and new mechanical HVAC upgrades.  A new two story approximate 16,500 SF steel frame and brick masonry addition has been built and connects to the existing 1940s library.

The new two-story addition includes areas for reading, study rooms, program rooms with elevated retractable seating, children’s reading and collection, youth collection and technology commons. Additionally, a new parking lot with 53 combined spaces has been constructed with environmentally favored porous pavement with future electrical charging stations.

The improvements focus on the development of a passive park and walking trail on 5 acres of County open space within Union Township. Adjacent to Green Lane, the park will include a sidewalk extension along the public right-of-way, a 15-space parking lot, including 2 ADA- accessible parking spaces, EV charging stations, and parking lot lighting.

Visitors will also encounter interpretive signage, a sculpture garden, and community art display. The property’s existing trees and plants will be supplemented with pollinator gardens, shade gardens, and native plantings. Fencing and landscape buffers on the perimeter of the site will create a sense of separation from neighboring properties. On the upland portion of the site along Green Lane, existing debris will be removed to make way for native plantings, transplants of mature trees, open space, and landscape berms.

Pervious pavement proposed in the site’s parking spaces will filter  roadway contaminants. Additional stormwater control will be provided through a bioretention basin adjacent to the parking lot to filter and detain runoff, allowing a slow discharge into the adjacent waterway.
