• Expert weighs Sherrill agenda, NJ competitiveness (njbiz.com) — Englewood Cliffs residents are directly affected as Samsung’s relocation from the borough to Texas is cited as a warning sign in a broader look at New Jersey’s business competitiveness under Gov. Mikie Sherrill. A site‑selection expert praises her early economic‑development moves but says high taxes, housing costs, and regulatory hurdles are still pushing companies and jobs toward lower‑cost states.
   

• Restaurant fire destroys popular Greek dining spot in Englewood Cliffs after stubborn blaze (news12.com) — A major early-morning fire has destroyed Lefkes, the popular Greek restaurant on Sylvan Avenue in Englewood Cliffs, but thankfully no injuries were reported. Firefighters battled stubborn flames that spread through the building’s walls and hidden spaces, a challenge made worse by the structure’s age and renovations. Officials say the loss is a big blow for the local community and its strong Greek population.
