Flood-Damaged Maple Park Turf to be Restored
Ridgewood will only need to pay for half of the $41,000 project, report said.
The flood-damaged turf at Maple Park in Ridgewood will be cleaned, thanks to a satisfactory second round of bids, NorthJersey.com reported.
Last year, the clean-up was delayed when the council rejected the one bid for the project it received, the report said.
The council then opened a second bidding process, and is expected to award the contract to LandTek, the report said.
