RIDGEWOOD — Public hearings are winding down on two more applications for multifamily housing projects proposed for the village’s downtown. If approved, the developments could bring great change to the bustling business district.
A 43-unit apartment complex with affordable housing units mixed in has already been approved on Chestnut Street at the site of an old MVC inspection station. Two more — a mixed-use 66-unit project at the former Ken Smith Motors site on Franklin Avenue; and The Dayton, a 93-unit residential building slated for the Brogan Cadillac property on South Broad Street — are nearing their conclusion.
Who in their right mind would buy or rent an apartment right next to the train tracks…?
Every time I read about these developments I literally feel nauseated.
But Ken Smith Chevrolet andBrigan Cadillac are value added for Ridgewood and the CBD, really
When is the new grammar school being approved for construction?
Personally I stayed away from affordable housing in NYC, for a good reason. Now it’s moving to Ridgewood? What’s the upside for the village?
