Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Village Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh revealed last night that the Village’s Central Business District Re-Opening Plan (street closures creating a pedestrian mall with on street dining) is being funded in part by an unnamed “individual.” Council members voted unanimously to approve the plan. However, when a taxpayer asked that the “individual” be publicly identified, no response was received. Hmm. Who would volunteer to fund the expenses associated with creation of a pedestrian mall with on street dining?
Ridgewood NJ, Enforcement of metered parking in the Central Business District will resume on June 15th. Time limit restrictions in residential zones remain suspended.
Middlesex/Morris/Somerset/Union/Warren County NJ, Last week, Mayors for “Main Street” sent a letter to State and County officials. This letter outlined several key steps that need to be taken for their local business community and residents. In the wake of this, Mayors were pleased to see a timeline established for the partial re-openings of several aspect of the business community to include daycare, outdoor dining and some “non-essential” retail. This is a step but more needs to be done. Now, several of the Mayors have taken steps in their own towns to ease various restrictions in preparation for these re-openings, and more Mayors will act in the upcoming week.

Ridgewood Nj, according to resident Boyd Loving in a Facebook post , “Security Sweep: A walk-by to visually inspect the area to identify unattended packages, briefcases, luggage, unauthorized persons, or other security breaches and determine that all public areas are secure. A procedure commonly completed prior to announced/scheduled gatherings of large groups (events). Examples: concerts, demonstrations, memorial services, parades, protests, speeches. Canines trained in the detection of explosive materials/incendiary devices and/or loaded firearms are routinely deployed.”

When purchasing CBD products we are faced with the question “is water soluble CBD better?” We all know oil and water don’t mix, so it comes down to absorption!
Full-spectrum, broad-spectrum, isolate, edibles, tinctures, and oils – the list goes on and on.
Ridgewood NJ, We have high density housing because of the author and commenters on this blog. People who know nothing about real estate law and development have dictated the conversation, and even more sadly have run the boards in Ridgewood. There are people who lead, and there are people who obstruct and impede progress. We have had the latter in leadership in Ridgewood until very recently.
The best example is High Mountain golf course in Franklin Lakes. Nobody wanted this to be developed. But it was worth far more as a development then a golf course (reality). Thanks to excellent leadership on the part of the mayor, Frank Bivona, and Kevin Boswell the town engineer; rather than stick their head in the sand and pretend that they could fight this, they negotiated the best possible deal they could with the developer while they still had leverage. Nobody is happy about it, but at least we do not have 600 units on that
property.
Ridgewood NJ, Companion bills introduced today in the New Jersey Assembly and Senate that provide immunity to businesses that act in good faith and follow safety protocols during the state’s economic reopening will help ensure the survival of many small businesses. NFIB, an association representing thousands of small businesses across New Jersey, supports this legislation because innocent business owners who did all that was expected of them can lose their business due simply to the high cost of a legal defense.
Trenton NJ, Mayors for “Main Street” sent a letter to the Governor’s Office, Legislative Leaders, Legislative District Representatives and County Officials to outline a list of actions needed to help reopen and lift restrictions on businesses in their communities and help to alleviate the struggles that many residents are facing.

Ridgewood NJ, Village of Ridgewood Mayor Ramon M Hache on May 19th encouraged residents to wear a mask ,”While we have not had any new positive cases of COVID-19 in Ridgewood in nearly a week, we are still not out of the woods. As the lifting of restrictions has begun slowly, please continue to take precautions for your safety and the safety of others. Be particularly disciplined about wearing a mask in public. The continued lifting of restrictions, while welcomed, will be bringing us in closer proximity to others so we must continue to exercise extra care to avoid re-igniting the spread of the virus. A new flare up would be devastating. Be well and stay safe.”
Ridgewood NJ, The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the world to adapt to new rules, forcing many of us to experience a shift in our daily routines and to carry out our work online. With this in mind, we here at STORAGECafé wanted to take a closer look into which states in the US are best prepared for a digital economy future.
