Fair Lawn’s Vision: Redeveloping the Historic Radburn Area
This redevelopment is a culmination of years of effort to transform a long-standing “blighted” area into a valuable community asset. Located at the edge of the historic Radburn neighborhood—a renowned planned community established in 1929—the project aims to enhance the public streetscape while honoring the area’s architectural heritage.
The start of construction on Plaza Greene is not just about building new apartments; it’s about creating a modern, walkable gateway to the community and bringing a highly anticipated organic market to Bergen County.

Now I realize what’s wrong with Fair Lawn. Old blight!
The best way to handle that is…………………………………NEW BLIGHT!
Perhaps FL should merge with Paramus? If nothing else, they’d gain a PARKING GARAGE.
I have lived a couple blocks from here for decades, and I am thrilled to have a grocery store there again. (I would prefer a Lidl because I am cheap, LOL.) Hopefully, a lot of the tenants will not need a car when living on top of the grocery store and next to the train station. I would think two people sharing an apartment in the area could go down to one car and use Bolt on rare occasions.
