The Honorable Peter E. Doyne will preside over tomorrow’s scheduled Village of Ridgewood vs. Ridgewood 120 LLC eminent domain hearing. The hearing will begin at 9:00 AM in Room 323 of the Bergen County Courthouse.
Village officials are seeking to condemn Ridgewood 120 LLC’s property, located at 120 Franklin Avenue, to facilitate construction of a parking garage/retail complex.
Ridgewood 120 LLC’s principals have filed a counterclaim, which accuses Mayor David T. Pfund, Deputy Mayor Betty G. Wiest, Councilman Jacques Harlow, Councilman Patrick A. Mancuso, and Councilwoman Kim Ringler-Shagin of reneging on several “secret promises” regarding the plaintiff’s acquisition of the property.
