Bergen County OEM is reporting that the storm has shifted its weight outside of Bergen County.

Do you think with 400 additional housing units proposed for Brookchester is too much for New Milford?
While the resolution to rezone the United Water property was soundly defeated, the preliminary proposal for redeveloping the Brookchester Garden Apartment complex presented by owner Joseph Brunetti faced little public challenge upon introduction. Brunetti came before the Mayor and Council Wednesday evening to give an informal presentation and present a conceptual design of his plan to refurbish a number of existing apartments and construct approximately 400 new apartments to be housed in three or four-story units. Although the Brookchester presentation was little more than a conceptual introduction broadly detailing the intent of Brunetti, there was no questioning of the potential strain on the borough's schools, infrastructure, safety of …

A New Milford man suffered serious head injuries after he crashed his motorcycle on Grunauer Place in Fair Lawn Tuesday night, police said
A New Milford man suffered serious head injuries after he was thrown from the motorcycle he was driving Tuesday night in Fair Lawn, police said.

Police found Holmes in the street with the 2007 Yamaha dumped nearby and he was rushed to the hospital with head injuries, according to a NorthJersey.com report. Sgt. Lonnie Mergler said he wasn't sure of the extent of Holmes' injuries but that they must have been serious because the Bergen County traffic accident investigator was on scene. Holmes, who was not wearing a helmet and did not have a motorcycle endorsement for his license, was issued …
Further states that by the governing bodies lack of action, the application meets all criteria for approval
After years of the borough providing documentation showing that the United Water property would be best utilized for affordable housing units, the project planner for the proposed development of the 13-acre United Water property has stated that by New Milford's inaction, the mixed-use project is inherently beneficial to the town. Peter Steck concluded his testimony during Tuesday evening's Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting where he placed the onus of the Mayor and Council's decision to not rezone the property the impetus for the need of a D variance. "The governing body could have zoned this site to hold all of the [affordable housing] units, but they did not do that," Steck testified. "We deserve merit approval of this application …
