Purchase order 26-01301 does not name a building. The furniture is reported as construction. The construction plan, sheet A-101, shows a multi-purpose County building with a well child care clinic, a nurse's suite, offices for the health officer and environmental inspectors, and session, group and exam rooms. The West Milford Messenger reported that the building opened on 04/22/2026 as the Highlands Regional Service Center, a County facility for public health, behavioral health and senior nutrition. That is newspaper reporting, not a County record. Apart from the County's own DHS reports, no record names a recovery program for the building or allocates the settlement share, or any room, to an abatement program. Renovating and furnishing a building is not among the uses Exhibit E lists.
