IS POST OFFICE SITE DEVELOPER JOINING TRUMP'S CABINET?

Joseph Forgione, the developer of the Clarus project now being built on the site of the former Maplewood Village Post Office, is reportedly being considered for a cabinet post in the Trump Administration.

New York Post's Page Six reported Sunday:

New Jersey real estate developer Joseph Forgione, a Democrat who raised money for Trump, is said to be the leading pick for secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
Forgione, whose parents emigrated from Italy and who holds dual citizenship, is friendly with Ivanka Trump’s father-in-law, Charles Kushner.

Forgione is the owner of JMF Properties, which is constructing the three-story, 20-apartment, five-retail space building in Maplewood Village.

Forgione did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the report Sunday.
