PLEASE SHARE & TAKE ACTION! Nutley Chamber of Commerce
established in 1953, is one of the longest running and most active chambers in New Jersey. Unfortunately, we feel the Small Business Community is not getting the proper attention it deserves.
When we say, ‘Small Business,’ we mean the owners of companies that have less than 10 employees – the true definition of ‘Small Business.’ They are facing serious difficulties during this unprecedented time. The PPP Loan program and other SBA Loan programs are not extremely helpful and are very restrictive. During a good financial time, the SBA is not easy to maneuver.
Because of this, we will soon see empty ‘Main Street’ businesses all over the Township of Nutley, the State of New Jersey, and the entire United States of America. We really need to take an immediate look at the help being provided and you will see that the support is minimal to say the least.

West Milford started out as New Milford in what was then western Bergen County in the 18th century, having been settled by disenchanted Dutch from Milford, New Jersey (later renamed by the British as Newark). These same Dutch also built a town of New Milford in eastern Bergen County.
There are a lot of gorgeous lake front homes in West Milford New Jersey to chose from, Green Wood Lake & Upper Greenwood Lake Real Estate.
Greenwood Lake is an interstate lakeapproximately seven miles (12 km) long, straddling the border of New Jersey andNew York. It is located in West Milford,New Jersey (in Passaic County) andGreenwood Lake, New York (in Orange County). The lake was originally called “Quampium” by the Munsee Native Americans who lived there. It was renamed “Long Pond” by Europeans, who settled the area in the 18th century for farming and ironmaking, and eventually came to be re-christened “Greenwood Lake.”
It was dammed up ca. 1765 by Peter Hasenclever of The American Company to increase the size of the lake for water power used downstream at the Long Pond Ironworks.[2] The original dam was located even with is today’s Fox Island, with most of the lake extending north of the state line. In 1837, the lake was again dammed, but at the location of the current dam, this time by the Morris Canal & Banking Company to supply water to the Pompton Feeder of the Morris Canal. The enlarged lake now flooded the Succor Brook at the northern end, forming the East Arm, surrounded “Lime Ridge” to create Chapel Island, and flooded the extreme southern end, including parts of Belcher Creek.
The enlarged lake began to attract tourists. The Montclair and Greenwood Lake Railway reached the lake at Awosting around 1874, and the “State Line” (later Sterling Forest) depot was established around 1876. (This railway later became the New York and Greenwood Lake Railway, and then the Greenwood Lake Division of the Erie Railway.) During its resort era, several steamboats operated on the lake, including the Greenwood Lake Transportation Company’s Arlington, Milford, and their side-wheeler, Montclair, built in 1876, which had two decks and is reported to have been capable of carrying from 200 to 400 passengers.[2] There were also other steamers that were privately run, such as the Pioneer and the Anita, and smaller steam launches, such as the Wilhemina, the Carrie T., and the Ferncliff, run by specific hotels. These steamboats met the trains and took passengers to the various resorts around the lake in both states.
There is a seaplane area on the lake, a few large marinas and lakeside restaurants withdocks. Greenwood Lake Airport just south of the lake has a runway long enough to handle small jets.
There are numerous marinas and restaurants along Greenwood Lake.
In 2012, the film “The Magic of Bell Isle” starring Morgan Freeman was filmed along the lake.

Every day that passes, people have a need to buy and sell homes. That doesn’t stop during the current pandemic. If you’ve had a major life change recently, whether with your job or your family situation, you may be in a position where you need to sell your home – and fast. While you probably feel like timing with the current pandemic isn’t on your side, making a move is still possible. Rest assured, with technology at your side and fewer sellers on the market in most areas, you can list your house and make it happen safely and effectively, especially when following the current COVID-19 guidelines set forth by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC).
You may have a new baby, a new employment situation, a parent who moved in with you, you just built a home that’s finally ready to move into, or some other major part of your life that has changed in recent weeks. Buyers have those needs too, so rest assured that someone is likely looking for a home just like yours.
According to the NAR Flash Survey: Economic Pulse taken April 5 – 6, real estate agents indicate, not surprisingly, that there’s a noticeable decline in current homebuyer interest. That said, 10% of agents said in the same survey that they saw no change or even an increase in buyer activity. So, while buyer interest is low compared to normal spring markets, there are still buyers in the market. Don’t forget, you only need one buyer – the right one for your home.
Here’s the other thing – people are spending a lot of time on the Internet right now, given the stay-at-home orders implemented across the country. Buyers are actively looking at homes for sale online. Some of them are reaching out to real estate professionals for virtual tours and getting ready to make offers too. Homes are being sold in many markets.
The same survey indicates that 56% of NAR members said sellers are removing their homes from the market right now. This can definitely work in your favor. If other sellers are removing their listings, your home has a better chance of rising to the top of a buyer’s search list and being seen. Keep in mind, listings will pick up again soon, as 57% of the respondents note that sellers are only planning to delay the process by a couple of months. If you need to sell right now, don’t wait for the competition to get back into the market again.
This year, delayed listings from the typically busy spring season will push into the summer months, so more competition will be coming to the market as the pandemic passes. Getting ahead of that wave now might be your biggest opportunity.
Real estate agents are working hard every single day under untraditional circumstances, utilizing technology to help both buyers and sellers who need to continue with their plans. We’re using virtual tours to show homes currently on the market, staying connected with the buyers and sellers through video chats, and leveraging resources to complete transactions electronically. We’re making sure the families we support remain safe and can keep their real estate needs on track, especially as life is changing so rapidly.
Homes are still being bought and sold in the midst of this pandemic. If you need to sell your house and would like to know the current status in our local market, let’s work together to create a safe and effective plan that works for you and your family.
