West Orange Welcomes 2 New Businesses With COVID-Safe Ceremony

WEST ORANGE, NJ — A pair of neighboring businesses recently celebrated their launch in West Orange with a dual ribbon cutting ceremony.

Last week, West Orange officials donned face masks to welcome Newbody Training Systems and Unique Performance Arts Center to their new spaces at 474 Prospect Avenue, in the rear of the Glen Rock Savings Bank building.

According to a township social media post, the dual ceremony was the town’s first in the coronavirus-era, since maintaining social distancing guidelines have become necessary.

“The masks concealed many smiling faces but couldn't damper the spirits of anticipation and enthusiasm as this long-awaited day finally arrived,” officials wrote.
