NEWARK, NJ-The Leaguers Inc., a community nonprofit group, will have a new two-story, 44,000-sf headquarters building at 405-425 University Ave. here in about a year. Construction is just under way by North Bergen, NJ-based general contractor Mc Gowan Builders on the facility, which carries a total price tag of $23.5 million. The actual building construction cost is $14 million.

“This marks a new chapter in the Leaguers’ six decades of service for the community,” says Veronica Ray, executive director and CEO of the children and family services organization, in a statement. “Our new building will provide services to more than 200 Head Start students and to more than 100 children and parents in after-school programs.”

Part of this city’s redevelopment effort, the new building will house the group’s headquarters office, along with a 22,000-sf Head Start and community services facility, commercial office space and an underground parking garage for 75 cars. Features will include seven classrooms, a secure outdoor play area, multi-purpose rooms and a media center.
