Ridgewood, NJ – The Ridgewood Village Council is ditching the solar panels on the roof of Village Hall. The decision, revealed by Village Manager Keith Kazmark on Wednesday night (July 2, 2025), has sparked concern and raised questions among taxpayers and local observers.
The primary reason for the removal? Citing pervasive “cable and conduit failures,” the Council determined that removing the panels is the logical step as part of an upcoming necessary roof replacement project.
