Ridgewood NJ, Arts for Our Village Youth is a new group in the Village of Ridgewood with the goal of supporting the interest of the youth of Ridgewood in the development of the new Performing Arts Center (the old Ridgewood Warner Movie Theatre). The group is the brain child of resident Zarmeen Patil, who asked in a Facebook post,”Who’s with me to fight the erosion of our community – our fight to keep the theatre. Let’s not fix what ain’t broken.”

Reader says ,”The developers want a new library, Performing Arts Center and more parking garages”

“The library and Board of Education will be our undoing. The debt that they will incur is irresponsible. It is not clear that anyone in power stands for fiscal responsibility.

The developers want a new library, Performing Arts Center and more parking garages. It makes their rentals more appealing and will attract the NYC and Hoboken renters.

The residents will be paying for everything.”

Reader says , “Living near a school requires a person to put up with a number of things”

Ridgewood Police RHS

“If I lived on the neighboring streets, I would be gathering neighbors together to fight this asap. Living near a school requires a person to put up with a number of things, things that you understand before you purchase the home. I am sure none of these people signed up for living within a few hundred feet from a performing arts center. We all know that to keep it running, it will have to be constantly rented out. The traffic through the neighborhood is bad during normal school times and if I lived near there I would not want to add any additional congestion. I hope that people band together to stop this craziness. “

“As a former student of the music program, what people who oppose the PAC aren’t realizing is the massive need for this space. There is currently no quality performance space in Ridgewood High School that could support a full Band, Orchestra or Choir concert. Instead they use the campus center (a converted cafeteria) in the winter and West Side Pres. church in the spring. There is also currently limited rehearsal space which this plan would address. While this project requires a lot of money, this is a critical plan for the RHS music program to continue its level of success as well as staying competitive with other high schools, most of whom have a performing arts center exactly like the one proposed.. “
