Ridgewood NJ, the Village of Ridgewood has initiated construction on a new flood dam system at Village Hall. The project, which began Monday, is expected to take three weeks, with the majority of the work impacting the Main Entrance and Community Center Entrance this week. The Village has assured residents and employees that only one entrance will be closed at a time to maintain access.
This proactive flood mitigation measure is a direct response to the persistent vulnerability of Village Hall, a vulnerability deeply rooted in the history of one of New Jersey’s most devastating natural disasters.
