Today's riddle: What did the tree say when Spring arrived? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 'No Immediate Threat' From Data Centers In Bloomfield, Official Says (patch.com) — Bloomfield residents concerned about AI data centers are being told there's no immediate threat, as current zoning doesn't permit them without a variance. Mayor Jenny Mundell says the township is moving to amend its land-use ordinances to explicitly prohibit data centers, even as similar debates and lawsuits unfold in other New Jersey towns. The update aims to calm local fears while the council prepares to review the proposed changes.
• New Jersey couple missing amid Nepal flooding (abc7ny.com) — A Bloomfield couple is among those missing after devastating flooding near the Nepal‑Tibet border, and local officials say the township is ready to support their family. Relatives report the couple's 9‑year‑old son is safe with family in India as rescue operations continue overseas. Neighbors and Mayor Jenny Mundell are closely following developments and hoping for their safe return.
• Bloomfield Man Charged After Montclair Fight Leaves Victim Unresponsive (rlsmedia.com) — A 27‑year‑old Bloomfield man has been charged after a fight in downtown Montclair left another man unresponsive with a serious head injury, police said. Officers tracked the suspect from Bloomfield Avenue to a nearby parking deck, then arrested him.
