>Village Council Special Public Meetings Concerning Proposed Valley Expansion : This is how you hold a Public Meeting
the Staff of the Ridgewood Blog
(RIDGEWOOD -NJ) It seems like we have been here so many times before , once again Valley made a decent case for the need to modernize ,but I am not sure the same can be said for the enormous increase in size ,that case simply was not made .
The fact is that the new Valley would be the same size as Paramus Park leads us once again to the old argument that a 30 archer project is being shoehorned into 15 archers.
Another interesting detail was that the Planning Board has for some time considered Valley to be a “Regional Hospital ” and not a “Community Hospital” as we have been so often told.
Although I am still left with the feeling that Valley is being far from forward with their real motivations for the the proposed “Renewal” ,all and all the meeting was respectful with out much of the acrimony of the last couple of years ,well run by the Council and very informative leaving me with one question why weren’t some of these questions asked before ?
