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.

New Jersey towns go green to reduce energy costs
Towns across New Jersey are going green to reduce the ever-increasing cost of energy. Last year, Wayne signed off on a large solar panels project, and more recently Westwood announced plans to cut energy costs by installing solar panels and wind and water turbines, looking to reduce its $540,000-a-year utilities bill. Solar panels are also being planned for municipal buildings in Fort Lee, Glen Rock, Tenafly and Ringwood.
Westwood also purchased a hybrid police car and has plans to put a vegetable-oil powered DPW truck on the road next year.
