NEWARK, NJ: Sheriff Armando Fontoura Opens Community Center Named After Him in Ironbound By HENRIQUE MANO | Newark, NJ The Sheriff Armando Fontoura and Mary Fontoura Community Center, in Independence Park in Newark, in the middle of Ironbound, is already a reality. That modern space, valued at around 10 million dollars, was inaugurated last week with the presence of the state's lieutenant governor, Tahesha Way, the executive administrator of Essex County, Joseph DiVincenzo, and a handful of other political and community individuals. The veteran politician, who has held the position for 34 years, had his daughters Lori Apicelli, Lisa Fontoura and Maria Fontoura by his side, his grandchildren Nicole and David and his son-in-law Fred Apicelli. “I am here today with great humility, just as my wife Maria would be if she were alive, but also with deep pride”, says sheriff Armando Fontoura, speaking to the newspaper LUSO-AMERICANO. “I accept this honor on behalf of my family but also recognizing that, in fact, it is a recognition of the Portuguese community as a whole, for the way it contributes to the good of the city, the county and even the state”. Daughter Maria Fontoura, deputy director of “Rolling Stone” magazine, also does not hide her pride, telling us that “today was also a return to my Portuguese origins, as I spent a lot of time at Ironbound”. Speaking to our reporter, the county's executive administrator, Joseph DiVincenzo, notes that the honor “is more than deserved for everything that Sheriff Fontoura has done throughout his career as a public servant, being a great asset to all of us ”. #GoIronbound #SheriffArmandoFontoura
