Correction The March 26 article regarding inter-local agreements involving Midland Park and Ho-Ho-Kus should have stated that Ho-Ho-Kus no longer uses Midland Park’s services to deal with building permits for its elected officials because, since the merger of the two municipalities’ construction departments, it would result in a possible conflict of inter- est. Ho-Ho-Kus currently engages Waldwick for this pur- pose.

The date was adjusted after the New Jersey Department of Consumer Affairs said the agreement had to have a four-year minimum rather than three. We welcome press releases from our readers.
