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.

  • working with local Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts to replace lost canopy trees on Wyckoff Avenue
