That county (Bergen County, less than a mile north of me)just added Korean to its ballots as well. Many Asians living along the Hudson River work in Manhattan; the area in question is on the NJ side of the George Washington Bridge. They are a wealthy group, and certainly have a positive financial impact.
Other areas rife with signs in Spanish haven’t had the same problem come up, probably because they at least use the same alphabet.

Damn, that’s still a big thing to swallow - the official catering in foreign languages
I can see Spanish being less problematic due to the alphabet, as you pointed out.
