County Planning Board approves controversial Palisades development

A controversial commercial development that will remove 105,000 cubic yards of soil and rock from the base of the Palisades Cliffs to make way for three stores on River Road was unanimously approved Thursday by the Hudson County Planning Board.
Around 100 members of the public sat through two hours of testimony from consultants and Dennis Oury, the attorney representing the property owners who are proposing a Walgreens, a Bank of America, and coffee shop. The public portion, when people spoke for and against the project, lasted three hours. For more information, read this weekend’s North Bergen Reporter. — Tricia Tirella
