KPMG is staying put in borough, says mayor

Mayor Michael Ghassali

MONTVALE—Mayor Michael Ghassali says he, the borough engineer, the Planning Board chairman, and members of the Economic Development Committee met with leadership from KPMG on March 15 and came away with good news:

“KPMG confirmed that they are staying in Montvale and will continue to occupy the 44-acre buildings complex on Chestnut Ridge Road. In fact they will be investing in these buildings to make them even more attractive and better utilized.”

Ghassali notes, “So any rumors of KPMG moving and selling their buildings are just that, rumors. KPMG is our biggest employer in town and in the top three in the county.  I am grateful for the relationship we have with them and that allows for the open and candid conversations we have, and they know they have 24/7 access directly to me.”

The mayor, in his March 16 outreach to residents, adds, “Thank you, KPMG, for choosing Montvale.”

KPMG LLP is the U.S. firm of the KPMG global organization of independent professional services firms providing audit, tax, and advisory services. The KPMG global organization operates in 145 countries and territories and has approximately 236,000 people working in member firms around the world.

Ghassali also lists “eight great businesses” new to town and taking about 17,000 square feet of office space, and wishes them success and prosperity.

 He says, “It gives me great pleasure to see more businesses choose Montvale to move in and expand in as we begin to get back to normalcy.”
