Village Manager James M. Ten Hoeve recently revealed that replacing the roof at Ridgewood’s train station will cost $584K. Mr. Ten Hoeve hopes that Ridgewood’s taxpayers will pay only $300K; the remaining $284K would be paid for by a grant from the Bergen County Historic Preservation Trust Fund.
The Fly wonders why Village Council members didn’t have the foresight to ask that the roof replacement be covered (no pun intended) under NJ Transit’s multi-million dollar plan to upgrade the entire station.
>geez saved $23 million just like it was nothing …
>Foresight?! While we are at it, we should get a grant for seeing eye dogs for Councilmembers.
>Foresight?! While we are at it, let us ask for a grant toward seeing-eye dogs — could only help.
>How about a grant so we dont loose our services or town workers!
>How can you spend $27million rehabbing the station and not touch the roof? I know that we have alot of financial magicians in town but I’ve got to see this. How does one “hope” that another entity might pay for our roof. Ridgewood shouldn’t have to pay $.30, never mind $300K.
>what the hell is going on they have the god dam money for this.shure thats why they talking about layoffs.you scum bums are so fu,.,k up.
>Are our village people smokin crack?
>no they are not they are very upset.how would like to get laid off.how would like to be in that spot in your life.when you have to pay bills and by food for you and your wife and kids.do you think that is so funny.I gess you never got a pink slip.
>They are selling a liquor license for 600k.
WHO gets the money?
With all the dining places in town, maybe they should think about selling 2-3 more at 600k each.
LET’S RAISE SOME MONEY BEFORE SPENDING IT.
>584k for a roof??? even a COPPER or slate roof is big $$ but isnt that just tile that is quite COMMON on cheapo homes in FLA??? if anyone knows how many ‘square’ are being proposed @ 584k i would be interested to read the specs
>8:20
I just put a new roof on my CHEAPO home in Fl.
9 grand for shingles and 24 grand for tile.
Who said they need a roof in the first place–looks fine to me.
Don’t get me wrong half a mil for a roof?
Maybe at the new west side church?
Not the train station.
>are they using the tile to decorate the parking lot? That amount of $$$$ sounds suspicious to say the least.
>I think we’re being railroaded here.
>2:49
ALL RIGHT!
>You are being railroaded. Big time. This clown can piss away money faster than a 25-year-old at a keg party.
