📰 News we're reading

• Bella Princess Cafe Variance Application Deemed Incomplete, Town Grants Extension (myveronanj.com) — Verona officials have ruled Bella Princess Cafe's latest variance application incomplete but granted the business until October 5 to supply missing documents and keep its November 13 Board of Adjustment hearing slot. The princess‑party cafe at 555 Bloomfield Avenue has been navigating complex zoning rules after being found out of compliance with Verona's prohibition on event spaces downtown, and is now racing to fix paperwork to keep its future in town alive.
