Today's riddle: Why did the chicken go to the gym? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Wayne Moves to Protect Eligible Tenants After Affordable Controls Expire at Mountain View Crossing (tapinto.net) — Wayne officials are moving to protect income-eligible tenants at Mountain View Crossing after long-standing affordability controls on 42 apartments expired, potentially exposing residents to higher rents. A new ordinance would keep qualifying households at affordable rates while gradually releasing units to market, and tenants are pushing for a clear, written transition plan before the council's final vote.
• Wayne Township and William Paterson at Odds Over Valley Road Development (wpubeacon.com) — Wayne Township's plan for a 113-unit affordable housing project on Valley Road is tangled in a deed restriction tied to nearby William Paterson University property, prompting talk of possible legal action. Township and university leaders are trading sharp words over who is blocking progress, while the future of both the campus site and the housing timeline remains uncertain for Wayne residents.
• Look at Gloria Steinem's visits to North Jersey. The icon died Sept. 2 (burlingtoncountytimes.com) — North Jersey is remembering Gloria Steinem's local connections, including a 2012 appearance at William Paterson University in Wayne where she spoke about the evolution of feminism. The piece looks back at her talks in Ridgewood, Hackensack, and Wayne, highlighting how her visits energized local conversations on women's rights and philanthropy over the years.
