Nabisco Factory Demolition In Bergen County: What's Next?

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Residents of Glen Rock, Fair Lawn, and other area towns planned to attend two informal meetings with state and federal health representatives on Wednesday meant to discuss toxic projects around Fair Lawn. Some intended to ask about the future of the Nabisco factory in Fair Lawn. A meeting is also coming up regarding that factory in early September.

A planned full demolition of the site in May 2023 was called off after toxins were discovered.

Published reports say a warehouse or offices may come to the site, but residents are concerned because they aren't sure of the future of the existing property, particularly how the existing building would come down.

One resident said that she knew of Glen Rock residents who planned to attend the second of two meetings in Fair Lawn on Wednesday with government representatives.

The planned meetings were slated for Wednesday, Aug. 30, at Fair Lawn Borough Hall, Room 201, from 2-4 p.m. and 6-8 p.m., according to a flyer (below).

The Artemis Alliance for Environmental Justice in NJ, has been keeping abreast of the findings and hearings as well. They noted that a hearing regarding traffic impact at the site will be held at the Fair Lawn Planning Board in September.

More details will be published on Patch when they are available.
