Things are moving .... in Mahwah, New Jersey. I have researched several towns in the Bergen County area this morning on the NJMLS. In the period ending today over 40 homes have gone under contract or have sold in the last 3 months. The average price of a home under contract or SOLD during this period is $785,338.
Now is the time to sell because the spring/summer market is here and interest rates are at an all time LOW. Buyers have their choices and sellers are negotiating. Perhaps in contrast to other areas of the country...Mahwah and Bergen County is MOVING!

The township of Mahwah last had it's revaluation over 6 years ago and plans are underway for a new town Revaluation. The plans were originally scheduled for municipal assessments to take place in 2007. The mayor and town council had realized that significant changes were taking place in the Real Estate market so, they applied for and received a 3 one-year extensions. This will bring the revaluation to 2011.
The collection and preliminary field work and assessments will beging during 2009-10. Values will be established in Octover of 2010 for assessments in 2011. Property owners will be notified to inspections via MAIL prior to inspections in each neighborhood in Mahwah.

Why Mahwah residents are still opposed to Pilot's proposed expansion of the truck stop on Rt. 17:
Pilot's current application (their third) is really no different than the first application in its effects on the community. It is still a truck stop where trucks fuel, rest and park. Increased traffic means increased potential danger to drivers, students and residents and our environment. The Bergen County Appellate Court upheld Mahwah's denial of Pilot's first application and cited "there would be a substantial detriment to the surrounding properties and to the general public as a result of the increase in traffic, congestion, noise and safety, as well as the potential for water and air pollution. Therefore, the Court adopts the Board's determination that the proposed use is incompatible with the area and not suitable for the subject site."
Pilot also plans to build a large Convenience Store which will be only be steps away from our schools and especially the High School. Students will be enticed to go there and can mingle with truck drivers.
Although Mahwah has an ordinance that requires a distance of at least 500 ft. between gas stations and schools and most other towns have similar laws, some Mahwah officials do not seem to understand the concern we have for unnecessarily exposing our children to increased traffic, environmental problems, safety issues and the potential for disastrous accidents.
The Zoning Board can and should deny Pilot's application based on the existing ordinance as the Pilot site is 50 ft. from school grounds. If the Zoning Board approves Pilot's proposed expansion, truck and car traffic will intensify and risk of accidents will increase.
We need your help to let the Zoning Board know that we want them to uphold the existing law that prohibits gas stations from being within 500 ft. of a school and not allow Pilot to expand the site.
Please join us at the Mahwah Zoning Board hearing Wednesday March 4th at 8pm at Town Hall. Traffic numbers will be discussed at this hearing.You can also pass this email to your friends and/or e-mail the mayor to let him know you are against the expansion:
