Sherrill To Attend Groundbreaking For Bergen County Supermarket, Housing Near Train Stop

FAIR LAWN, NJ — A groundbreaking ceremony on Thursday will kick off a major residential-retail development project in Fair Lawn.

The demolition of a former Dollar Tree site near the historic Radburn Train Station will make way for the Plaza Greene at Radburn Station project.

Gov. Mikie Sherrill and other officials are scheduled to attend.

The project will include 145 units of housing for residents 55 and over, as well as a Sprouts Farmers Market.

The project received approval last year.

Kevin Codey of Danbro properties said the ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. Thursday.

Construction should take about 18 months, he said.

Sprouts is known for its healthy and organic food. They feature varieties such as gluten free. The chain has five other locations in New Jersey, but this will be the first in Bergen County.

Earlier this year, the town of Fair Lawn told residents that the construction will change the flow of traffic.

"Please use caution in the area and follow posted detour signage," officials said. "Thank you for your patience as this project moves forward." READ MORE: Dollar Tree Demolition Will Change Traffic Patterns
