Demolitions started today on three homes in Sayreville purchased through a state-run Hurricane Sandy buyout program, state officials said, marking the first of nearly 50 properties that will be razed in the storm-ravaged community in the coming weeks. More than 190 homeowners in Sayreville and South River have so far accepted buyout offers from the state Department of Environmental Protection, with closings completed on 116 of those properties.

Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (NJ-9) and U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) met with residents in Cliffside Park on Monday to outline legislation they have introduced in Washington, D.C. to address New Jersey's aging water infrastructure. At a news conference, they spoke of their newly introduced bill which would make it simpler for municipalities to get funding for water system repairs. Specifically, their Sustainable Water Infrastructure Investment Act of 2014 would "remove the federal cap on municipal bonds used to pay for sewerage and water system upgrades."
