Dear Editor:
I am writing to share my ideas for repurposing the empty office buildings in Parsippany-Troy Hills for the benefit of our community. Here are my suggestions:
- Collaboration between Rutgers University, County College of Morris (CCM), and state and county officials to establish a four-year business college within some of the vacant buildings. This initiative would provide educational opportunities and contribute to the local economy.
- Conversion of one building into a learning center for individuals with autism and other disabilities. This facility could offer specialized programs and support services tailored to the needs of these individuals, enhancing their quality of life.
- Transformation of another building into a state-of-the-art VA medical treatment center and short-term housing for veterans. By partnering with Morris County and federal agencies, we can ensure that our veterans receive the care and support they deserve.
- Repurposing of one building as a facility for Morris County Magnet High School, offering advanced placement coursework and exams to students. This initiative would enrich educational opportunities for our youth and foster academic excellence.
Having resided in Parsippany-Troy Hills for five decades, I am deeply invested in the well-being of our community. I believe that by repurposing these empty buildings, we can create valuable resources that will benefit current and future generations.
While I may not have the capacity to spearhead these initiatives myself, I am confident that our fellow citizens possess the passion and dedication to make a positive impact. I encourage readers to share their ideas, thoughts, and enthusiasm with Mr. Frank Cahill at Parsippany Focus. Together, we can work towards building a brighter future for our township.
American Vet,
Gary Martin
