News Updates: NJ Mall Renovation

By Kaitlyn Giordano

Authorities say a woman has been arrested for starting a fire in a stove that ripped through a Rutherford apartment building. The 62-year-old was sent to the Bergen County jail to await her first court appearance.

One of the largest malls in New Jersey is preparing for a brand-new look. The Monmouth Mall in Eatontown will begin demolition and construction for an open-air “live, work and play” space that will be called Monmouth Square.
