Ceremony opens Silver Hill Park

Silver Hill Technology Park was officially dedicated yesterday afternoon. The park (formerly Stuart Park) is located on Route 88 South in Newark.

Pictured are Ultralife President Roger O'Brien and Barbara Harper; and, at the reception, are Bob Stanton, Tracy Pieters and Sharon Baker.

Harper, Director of the Wayne County Industrial Development Agency, presided at the ceremony at the main entrance. She spoke about the new Silver Hill Park and Ultralife Batteries Campus, and the new village roadway system.

Stanton is a partner in Silver Hill Associates, Pieters is president of the Newark Chamber of Commerce, and Baker is information officer for Ultralife. Jim Homburger spoke on behalf of Silver Hill Associates.

O'Brien said, "This opportunity for Ultralife to purchase its own manufacturing and office facility was instrumental in Ultralife's commitment to maintain its 400-person operation in Newark."

Homburger and Stanton have pledged Silver Hill Associates to a major marketing effort to "make jobs happen here."

Ultralife and Schlegel Systems, Inc. are high-technology companies and living proof for interested new businesses that Silver Hill, Newark and Wayne County are among the best places to locate.
