PASCACK VALLEY—As we welcome 2024 in the Pascack Valley, our communities continue to deal with contentious and often costly issues, and even for regular Pascack Press readers, a few may come as a surprise.
My continuing thanks to editor John Snyder for pruning my prose, and Kristin Beuscher, a former Press editor and our contributing columnist of “Back In Time,” and for all the readers who take the time to read our weekly newspaper, whether in print or online, and weigh in with letters to the editor. Without your readership—and letters and emails—we could not be the community newspaper we strive so hard to be.
Most topics I discuss below have been reported on in articles over this past year, and can be found on our website or by doing a simple search in the search tool below our online masthead.
Also, local libraries have archived printed copies of the weekly newspaper. If you need a prior issue, or questions on a topic I’ve raised, just call our office at (201) 664-2105.
Here’s my subjective and non-comprehensive look at 2023 and hot municipal topics that may be on our pages in 2024 for Emerson, Hillsdale, Montvale, Park Ridge, River Vale, Township of Washington, Westwood and Woodcliff Lake.
Next! Emerson…
