Ridgewood NJ, during tax season, threat actors target taxpayers and their data in order to file fraudulent tax returns, collect refunds, and engage in other identity theft schemes.

They heavily rely on social engineering tactics conducted through email, phone, and text messages.

THE RIDGEWOOD VILLAGE COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKSHOP AGENDA FEBRUARY 22, 2023 7:30 P.M. Schedler Property Update

Save Our Schedler Members & Friends at the Schedler House

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood’s Historic Schedler Property is unique and unlike any other Village Parcel. This historical Revolutionary War site is a full ecosystem of wildlife and vegetation (protected, state-threatened and endangered). Additionally, located along Route 17 North (a major transportation corridor), the tree/green-filled parcel filters out light, noise, visual, airborne particulates, gaseous pollutants, and air toxins emitted by diesel trucks and cars.

The new Village Council moved to replace the Schedler Park plan (approved by Resolution 18-236), adding a full-sized regulation turf field. The approved plan, now in jeopardy, balanced the needs of the impacted neighborhood, sports groups, conservationists, historians, and taxpayers and included a 75×50 multi-use field. With required oversight from the State of NJ Historic Preservation, the plan was moving forward with expected completion by late spring 2023.
