Tenafly is fast emerging as an excellent location for luxury housing, with good housing constructions on in the region. For one instance, approximately 140 condominiums are coming up in Tenafly at the Plaza. This gated community coming up on 15 Piermont Road will comprise of three buildings, each with three stories. Of the three buildings, the first building is slated to complete construction by November 2008. Buildings two and three would be ready for occupancy by January 2008 and March 2008 respectively. The three buildings comprise of seventeen different models of construction, made to suit family needs and individual styles. Single, double and three bedroom accommodations are available in each building. High end features, heated pool and clubhouse are a few of the luxury features that make the Plaza a luxury housing one would love to own. The project is the brainchild of Sotheby’s International Realty and its sales are handled by Anat Eisenberg. More details on unit specifications and building can be availed at www.theplazatenafly.com. Information regarding pricing will be made available only on registering with the company.
As land values increase in Tenafly, and potential home buyers look for low priced properties, one builder is trying new ideas that brings decently priced housing in a good neighborhood. Alliotts Construction Company of Palisades Park is now focusing its efforts on bringing housing closer to the Tenafly school district. This builder is confident that housing in the prestigious school district of Tenafly, situated close to the high school and middle school of Tenafly would surely bring in more residents to the area. With a good history of housing constructions in Bergen County, Alliotts is now constructing 44 town houses on a four acre stretch. Known as The Crossings in Tenafly, the project comprises of town houses located between Grove Street and West Rail Road Avenue. The project is said to mainly target people with school going children. Also people who want to downsize from bigger homes and are seeking a good neighborhood are expected to purchase homes here. As the area is already developed with little open space, developers are replacing older homes and constructions with these townhouses.
As the festive season of Christmas begins, Tenafly and neighboring towns are putting measures in place to make the winter’s snow more manageable for residents and shoppers of Bergen County. In this regard, Tenafly has put no parking regulations into action. As per these regulations, parking in Tenafly is prohibited in areas where snow is falling to the level that plowing is needed to remove it. These regulations will be lifted only when the borough has cleared the snow and made the streets usable. While the prohibition is waived off in certain areas, residents need to find out about these regions before venturing out. Handicapped assistance programs are however available for people with handicapped license plates or NJ State approved placards. Finally vehicles parked for over 48 hours on the street, would be considered and treated as abandoned vehicles. Not following the rules and regulations could lead to fines and towing away of vehicles. More information on parking for handicapped, exempt areas, snow plowing and fee waivers may be taken from the Teaneck Police Department.
New threat of industrial pollution for residents
While the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set new standards to encourage industries for reducing pollution, many residents of Bergen County and the neighborhood are concerned that the move may backfire. Experts expressed concern that the altered rules could lead to more pollution and less awareness about it. This came through in the findings of the Government Accountability Office which highlighted that EPA had altered rules regarding disclosure rules about chemicals that were released into the air, soil and water. It was revealed that the alteration in rules could lead to a lesser degree of disclosure from the hundred industries regarding detailed reports of emissions. Thus New Jersey joined the efforts of eleven other states in order to overturn EPAs rules. The study also revealed that EPA had ignored its own guidelines as it came under pressure from the White House budget office. However, the EPA states that the new rules had potential to encourage businesses for reducing chemical use helping them qualify for the easy reporting standards.
Resident uses award for environmental awareness
Environmentally aware residents can prove a boon for Bergen County and improve its quality of life. A resident of Fair Lawn, Paul Ragusa, has been awarded $5000 as part of the Bank of America local hero award. This award was given to Ragusa as recognition of his services towards Bergen County over the past 20 years. His services included his tenure as a child service coordinator and current after school enrichment programs. The recipient has however agreed to give this money to the World Association of Certified Safe Environments. This organization has agreed to double the amount given by Ragusa and use it for environmental safety and education of students in the schools of Fair Lawn and Hackensack. The environmental organization is also accepting donations and observing grant requests from schools for introducing more of such environmental awareness programs.
