Frelinghuysen

On Friday, federal officials held the mayor for several hours at their Frelinghuysen Avenue location.

A counselor at a substance abuse center on Frelinghuysen, he said he didn’t know that he worked across the street from a toxic site.

The Frelinghuysen Avenue lot is one of more than 900 toxic waste sites facing ever-increasing risks from rising seas, fiercer wildfires and other disasters driven by climate change, according to a 2019 report by the Government Accountability Office.

Residents have become accustomed to seeing Frelinghuysen Avenue flood during heavy storms.

Children who play at the football field a few blocks from the Superfund site don’t have many shops along Frelinghuysen Avenue to go to after games, Freeman lamented.
