WOODLAND PARK – The borough has outlined a series of goals for improving its business, public transit capabilities, and environmental standards. Now the only thing they have to do is implement them.

The bankruptcy of a large business, October’s unexpected snowstorm, and Hurricane Irene are to blame for the $77 increase in municipal taxes for the home assessed at the borough average of $365,264, officials say.

Passaic Valley towns will receive a combined $600,114 from the state department of transportation (DOT) to improve local roadways this year.
