Page 6 THE VILLADOM TIMES Ramsey IV • October 10, 2012 Borough’s mayor addresses local Rotary Club Ramsey Mayor Chris Botta recently visited the Bergen Highlands/Ramsey Rotary Club and was named an honorary member. Mayor Botta spoke about the steps that are already being taken toward an eightunit affordable housing development for autistic adults. After several years of rigorous effort, construction on the home is expected to begin shortly, with occupancy slated for 2014. The project will be built on borough-owned land on Airmount Avenue by a joint effort of two non-profit organizations that specialize in constructing affordable housing: Bergen County’s United Way and the Madeline Corporation in Cliffside Park. Once the apartments are completed and tenants move in, round-the-clock support staff will be provided by New Horizons, a non-profit that provides community services to individuals with autism. Mayor Botta also addressed wide ranging questions of local interest, including the challenges of Ramsey’s water moratorium, the problem of jaywalking on Main Street, a suggestion for a greater police presence downtown and the soon-to-beremoved fire alarm boxes.
