MORRISTOWN, NJ—The United Way of Northern New Jersey has awarded its 2013 Impact Award to the team that worked on Bayer HealthCare’s East Coast U.S. headquarters property in Hanover Township, N.J.

The Impact Award recognizes a commercial development project, sale, lease or other real estate transaction that had a positive impact on the northern New Jersey region.
