ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ-Four former governors of New Jersey have joined a growing chorus of conservationists lobbying to prevent South Korea-based LG Electronics from building a 143-foot high corporate headquarters on the scenic Palisades here.
Democrats Brendan T. Byrne and Jim Florio and Republicans Thomas H. Kean and Christie Whitman sent a letter this week asking LG Electronics to redesign plans for its North American headquarters, according to The Record.
“Given your generously sized 27-acre site, it is our hope that a beneficial resolution can be reached through a low-rise design that fully accommodates the company's needs for new office space while ensuring the integrity of the Palisades ridgeline and park,” the letter states.
LG Electronics Vice President of Public Affairs and Communications John Taylor declined comment on the governors' letter, citing ongoing court-supervised mediation between the company, the borough and several conservation groups. See story in The Record.
