Rutherford NJ, County of Bergen and the Borough of Rutherford have reached an agreement regarding the Williams Center. The County administration has put forward a resolution to initiate transfer ownership of the Williams Center to the Borough of Rutherford and will be presented before the Board of County Commissioners this Wednesday, August 4.
The Borough of Rutherford is slated to execute a purchase agreement of the property on Monday, August 9 at their next Council meeting. Pending approval of both governmental actions, the County will cancel the upcoming August 13 auction of the Williams Center. This agreement will ensure local control of the property and that the theatre rests in the hands of the local governing body.
