Events
Russell Farms Update
On December 6, the Wyckoff Township Committee held the public hearing on the ordinance authorizing the purchase of Russell Farms, and then passed the ordinance later that evening. The acquisition is contingent on the receipt by the developer of a "no further action" letter from the state Department of Environmental Protection indicating that the pesticide clean-up at the site has been successfully completed. After receipt of this letter, the Township can take possession in exchange for the $3.1 million.

Inserra Shop Rite submits plans to Planning Board
Inserra Shop Rite of Wyckoff, the long-term holder of the lease to the former A&P site in Wyckoff, has submitted plans to the Wyckoff Planning Board to fully redevelop the seven-acre property. Inserra Shop Rite would demolish all existing structures (which would include the former A&P and Walgreens building as well as the strip mall housing the DMV and Curves) and proposes to build a 62,174 square-foot big-box style store. Variances will be required. The property, at the intersection of Wyckoff and Greenwood Avenues, has been the site of extensive DEP-supervised soil remediation.
We will send additional information on the plan as well as information on the timing of the developer’s appearance before the Wyckoff Planning Board shortly. It is only with community support and action that development can be done in the best interests of Wyckoff and consistent with our town character.
