Dear Village of Ridgewood Community,
Kensington Senior Living recently presented a concept plan to the Ridgewood Village Council for a 95+/- room assisted living community to be built on the current site of Ridgewood Vehicle, Barry’s Ridgewood Auto Body and a single-family home (246, 256, and 264 South Broad Street). Specifically, Kensington asked that the Village Council refer the project to the Village’s Planning Board in order to study the property to determine if it meets the criteria to be designated an Area in Need of Redevelopment. It is Kensington’s belief that the property meets several of the necessary criteria to be designated as an Area in Need of Redevelopment, including the fact that it is a non-conforming use and is likely environmentally contaminated.
