I guess I do not feel as threatened as many residents do
regarding the issue of open space. Even though we may not
have that much space within the legal borders of the borough,
we have a beautiful park on our northern border which
goes all the way to Bear Mountain: Palisades
Interstate Park. I also feel as though I was misled because some of the council
members made statements which led me to believe that the owner of
GEM was thisclose to building townhouses on the property and
that was not even close to the truth. I do not understand the urgency
of the matter when nothing is happening. He can't build anything
there without going before the appropriate boards and that
has not happened. The owner says he wants to keep it a marina.
Let's try and work with him to get the deed restriction and do it with
minimum cost to the Edgewater/NJ taxpayer (grant money
comes from taxpayers too!). The borough is growing and we will have other needs in the future.
Who knows if we will have to take over the George
Washington school again? That will be very expensive to
bring up to code. The borough was in a fiscal crisi in the 1970's. No one
wants to get in that situation again. Right now, the economy
is booming but we all know how quickly a bust can occur.
