Ridgewood NJ, on Wednesday night the Ridgewood council voted to appropriate $1.6 million of Ridgewood Water funds to go forward with the purchase of the former Elks Lodge on Maple Avenue .
The council voted 3-2 in favor of the purchase with Councilman Jeffrey Voigt and Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh casting dissenting votes.
The appropriation,comes less than a month after a NJ Superior Court judge ruled against the village of Ridgewood in a lawsuit, finding that it had approved “capricious” and “unreasonable” rate hikes between 2010 and 2012.
No estimate was given as to how much will it cost to renovate that space or what is going in Ridgewood Water place at Village Hall.
