Passaic County begins redevelopment in Paterson following correctional service transfer
What happened
Passaic County broke ground on a six-story government services building in Paterson. This facility will consolidate several county agencies, including the Sheriff’s Office Corrections Division hub and a new probation office. The project replaces the former Passaic County Jail, which was demolished in 2024. The redevelopment follows a 2022 shared services agreement between Passaic County and Bergen County that transferred correctional services for Passaic County inmates to Bergen County.

Why it matters
Officials stated the shared services agreement has generated taxpayer savings for Passaic County. The new facility is intended to support local businesses and serve as a lasting investment in Paterson. The transfer of correctional services also allowed the Sheriff’s Office to reassign more personnel to public safety duties throughout Passaic County.
