>The fly on the wall has heard that . ..The Town Garage, located at 120 Franklin Avenue between North Walnut Street and Oak Street, was recently sold for $1.265 million. The Agnello family, of nearby Glen Rock, previously owned the property and operated an automobile repair facility at the site for years. The repair shop continues to operate despite the transfer of property ownership.
The property’s new owner is Ridgewood 120 LLC, 405 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, NJ. Coincidentally, two principals of Ridgewood 120 LLC, Mr. Martin Dorfman and Mr. Alan Litt, are listed as members of the Board of Directors for a company that has proposed leasing a portion of Pease Library from the Village of Ridgewood. Interestingly, the address of record for the company proposing to lease a portion of the Pease Library is also 405 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, NJ.
Control/ownership of 120 Franklin Avenue is viewed as key to the successful construction of a municipal parking garage on North Walnut Street. Village Council members have publicly announced their intent to construct a parking garage at that location.
The fly will continue to investigate the cozy relationship now forming between the Village Council and selected businesses located at 405 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, NJ.
>A principal player in the “405 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, NJ” group is Jeff Wells, who is also a proponent of constructing a bandstand at Van Neste Memorial Park.
The relationship between Council members and this mystery group gets cozier every minute.
>I wonder if the rum delivery truck is in anyway connected to this pot of stew?
>The primary line of business being transacted at 405 Cedar Lane, Teaneck, NJ is the development and management of assisted living centers for senior citizens.
So, expect to see an assisted living center proposed for construction somewhere in Ridgewood very shortly. Probably in the CBD somewhere; maybe even on top of the parking garage. Guaranteed Wells will be the designer.
Someone at Village Hall obviously thinks that the public is stupid!
>So, expect to see an assisted living center proposed for construction somewhere in Ridgewood very shortly. Probably in the CBD somewhere; yea like the basement of the village hall LOL
>this is the best thing for ridgewood biz,this is good thing and about time.
>Wasnt this info posted some time ago? The same connections were made about the Village Gov and private businessmen. I am all for it, Fly on the Wall… but is this fresh news, or are we just throwing it agst the wall to see if it sticks?
>are we just throwing it agst the wall to see if it sticks?
ask this question after you get the bill….
>maybe some of the merchants should be open once and a while and they might do some business…
>Ironically, although the Village Council has decided to get into bed with Jeff Wells and his band of merry men, Ridgewood’s taxpayers will wind up getting screwed instead.
>what the hell are you talking about you and budys dont know to much do you get your facts inorder you dope.
>are saying that we dont need a new garage for parking come one you allknow that we need parking at nite.so we can have agood time.
>wow, just read some of the blog,great stuff however misguided. word on the street fly is that Wells is going to move to town and run for mayor as soon as he finishes the bandstand, pease renovation, senior center, school ball fields, transit rehab, painting of the churches, pruning all oak trees and consolidation of all banks and coffee shops into the mega frappabanco emporium, and as you might have guessed it to be built on top of the 12 story parking structure on what used to be the van neste memorial park. I for one hope they at least get the parking done, I am tired of looking for a space downtown while driving around with my grandmother.
