THE RECORD

RIDGEWOOD — The village has received seven proposals from four developers who are all interested in redeveloping a 2.07-acre portion of Ridgewood’s downtown.

The proposals are being considered as the Planning Board continues hearing testimony on a master plan amendment sought by three developers who want to build high density, multifamily housing complexes downtown.

Officials said the seven plans, which were opened last week, include provisions for much-needed parking. The parcels to be redeveloped are at the corner of Franklin Avenue and North Walnut Street.

Most of the proposals would augment the amount of available housing and retail space in downtown Ridgewood, said Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld. However, she would not provide specific details or costs “relative to the plans,” claiming in an email that doing so could “impact our future negotiations” with the four developers.
