Overview: In a recent session, River Edge Land Use Board approved a large 40-square-foot sign for a local business amid concerns over its potential visual impact compared to the previous signage. This decision came after a thorough debate on the sign’s size, which some board members found excessive, considering the full backing that would make it appear much larger than the former individual lettering without backing. The approval is contingent upon the fulfillment of a previous condition from 2018, which required the business to update the streetscape—a task that remains incomplete.
