• creating a fund to address causes of water pollution and,
• creating a fund to remediate brownfields.Connors Moves Old Yardley BuildingUNION CITY, NJ-Housing mostly apparel-related tenants, aging industrial building may be converted into residences.A decade ago, wedding dress maker Mori Lee Co. moved from Union City, NJ to Florida, but decided not to sell its 135,000-sf building because the down market at the time would have fetched a rock-bottom price. So the Yardley Building (named after the soap maker, its original owner) was converted to multi-tenant use, most of which are in the garment business as well.,
But since the market is no longer down, the building was recently put up for sale, and just as quickly moved. The Bayonne, NJ-based William F. Connors Agency has just sold the property to an unnamed buyer for an undisclosed price.,
And the building may have a life beyond the garment business.

Connors III.
