>Jeffery Wells owns of the 21-room Blauvelt mansion in Oradell a property on Kinderkamak road are no strangers to controversy and have been the subject of much community debate in Oradell. After years of hosting events at the mansion ,the Wells family wants to turn the property they own into a banquet business but their neighbors are opposed to a commercial business located in the middle of a residential neighborhood. The Wells’s attempted to sell the four-acre property for $8 million, hoping to keep the house intact and find someone interested in restoring the house. According to sources the only offers came from developers, who wanted to raze the mansion and build new homes — an option Wells rejected. The Wells family saved the mansion from possible destruction in 1978, when Jeffrey’s father, Raymond Wells, purchased the property from a developer who had sought to develop the property with single-family homes .
>Stop the smear campaign already. The last 5 posts are all about Wells. Enough already…you obvioustly have something personal against this guy.
>no we do not,we are just looking over all things about the stuff that he is invovled with ,hummmmm.
>”Stop the smear campaign already”…..just making information open to the public. Why are you so defensive ?
>yes. very contoversial. the family saved a historic home from being demolished. now they want to find a way to keep it that way. I can’t believe they rejected offers from developers. what scumbags.
someday you’ll realize that just because someone is in a position to get involved in public issues doesn’t mean they have questionable ethics. as a matter of fact, it’s usually just the opposite. perhaps “the fly” is assuming others will act the way he would?
by the way, if more people actually gave a crap about their community (and did something about it), you wouldn’t see the same names over and over.
>”yes. very controversial” not meant to be just some back ground info …what puzzles me is why so many people are reacting so defensively …perhaps you have something to hide?
>pbj, the title of your post implies controversy. i didn’t say it, you did.
>sidd my boy in Oradell it is controversy ask the neighbors…
>dan, i guess my point was that sometimes people who try to get involved, give back and do the right thing end up getting punished for it while those who hoarde their wealth, sit back and complain have nothing to worry about.
didn’t mean to imply i was an oradelite in the know.
>well as long as they build parking.
