Belvidere-Warren County Freeholder Jason Sarnoski was recognized for his ongoing service on the Board of Trustees of the North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority (NJTPA) at the agency’s annual meeting in Newark recently.
“I’d like to thank the NJTPA for this recognition,” Freeholder Sarnoski said. “I am committed to using transportation investment to make travel safer and more efficient in the County, and to help spur economic development.”
“Under Freeholder Sarnoski’s leadership, Warren County has advanced nearly $200,000 in safety projects and nearly $10 million in local roadway and bridge projects,” NJTPA Executive Director Mary K. Murphy said.
NJTPA Chairman Peter Palmer, Somerset County Freeholder Director, joined Executive Director Murphy in presenting Freeholder Sarnoski with his service award.
With Freeholder Sarnoski’s support, the county completed the Morris Canal 25-Year Action Plan, which outlines recommended projects along the greenway in Warren County over the next two decades. Warren County is also in the process of updating its Transportation Technical Study, a key component of the Warren County Smart Growth Plan.
Under Freeholder Sarnoski’s leadership, Warren County, along with Morris County, is piloting NJTPA’s Freight Concept Development Program, which identifies goods movement projects with strong economic development potential to give them a path forward towards construction.
“Freeholder Sarnoski has made significant contributions not just to Warren County, but to the entire NJTPA region,” Executive Director Murphy said.
