To carry this out, the Commission advises the Division of Planning and Zoning, the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Adjustment on zoning applications for development, and also reviews all building permit applications presented through the Division of Community Improvements.

Ciao! The City of Paterson Historic Preservation Commission is assisting with the rehabilitation of Lou Costello Memorial Park in the Great Falls Historic District. The park is at the corner of Ellison and Cianci Streets and it used to be called Federici Park years ago as well. We are putting together an interpretive display for the park that will tell about Paterson’s Italian immigrant and Italian-American community that settled in the Cianci Street area. We need the assistance of the Italians who have memories of the area, or actually lived there, who can tell their stories about the neighborhood and their family’s lives and background. The information will be valuable to gather a broad understanding and historic perspective of the area and those who settled there, and some of the specific information may be incorporated into the text of the panel. If you think that you can help with this project, please email [email protected] or [email protected] and we will get back in touch with you to arrange an interview. Thank you for your time to read this and please do consider participating!
