The Record
Many towns in northeastern Bergen County will have a non-binding ballot question in November about the reopening of Pascack Valley Hospital.
Councils in 11 towns — River Vale, Park Ridge, Montvale, Oradell, Hillsdale, Washington Township, Old Tappan, Northvale, Harrington Park, Emerson and Westwood — have approved resolutions asking for the ballot question. Closter was to hold a special meeting about it Wednesday night.
The question asks whether voters favor the expenditure of “resources through the attendance and participation at public hearings or other proceedings by municipal officials in support of the application” by Hackensack University Medical Center to reopen the Westwood site as a 128-bed community hospital.
The deadline for the towns to request the addition to the ballot is Friday at 10 a.m.
