The year-long process to restore Ridgewood’s municipal building to pre-Hurricane Irene condition is moving closer to completion, and village officials believe the project will be finished next month.
Every Village Hall corner damaged by Irene’s crippling flood waters last year will be repaired and back in full use by Sept. 13, Village Manager Ken Gabbert told The Ridgewood News this week. An official reopening ceremony will be celebrated during a Highlights in Leisure Time (HILT) senior citizens club meeting later in the month, he said.
Contractors continued work this week, the one-year anniversary of the flood, but were “98 percent done,” Gabbert said, adding that extensive electrical work and other equipment installation still remained.
Lobby materials, video screens, directional signs, furniture, donated pool tables, decorative hallway molding and pictures have yet to arrive.
