The population of the borough is more than 50 percent Korean and Palisades Park Mayor James Rotundo said a Korean language version of the town website is also being explored, according to northjersey.com.

Korean advocates in the borough also brought in their own equipment that offered a simultaneous interpretation of the meeting, according to northjersey.com.

There is no law in New Jersey requiring municipalities to offer interpreters, however it's a growing issue as the state diversifies, according to northjersey.com.
