The state's revamped School Development Authority construction program will provide funding for 10 school projects including three in Hudson County, as reported by The Jersey Journal.

School 20 on Danforth Avenue in Jersey City will finally receive the financial support needed to build a new school on Ocean and Cator Avenues.

Harry L. Bain Elementary School in West New York will also receive funds for a new school building under the plan announced yesterday by Gov. Chris Christie. Funds are also allocated for Elementary School 3 in Jersey City.

The current School 20 building is falling apart due to extensive water damage and cannot meet its students' needs. Storage closets act as spaces for essential resources and the auditorium has been divided into several rooms to accommodate a library, a computer lab, an in-school suspension room and a stage for assemblies.

"It's a marvelous day for students, parents and teachers of Public School 20 - who will be moving out of the old building," said Charles Epps, the superintendent of the Jersey City schools.
