>Local businesses cheer Pascack hospital’s reopening
By Melinda Caliendo
When the decision came down Monday night from the Health Department to reopen the former Pascack Valley Hospital, business owners in the borough of Westwood breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Lee Tremble, a lifelong resident who owns the Iron Horse restaurant in downtown Westwood, said his father took out a $100 loan to contribute to the building of the facility in the late 1950s. When the hospital closed in 2007, Tremble said he saw an “exodus” of families.
But when Hackensack University Medical Center North opens either later this year or early in 2013, Tremble feels the trend will be reversed.
