News Updates as of 29 April 2009

• B Green Innovations, a local environmental manufacturer mentioned in an earlier blog article, successfully registered its EcoPod product with the US Patent Office.
• Kingdom Development LLC of Matawan is buying the site of the former Irvington General Hospital, but the deal isn't locked in yet, according to NJ.com. The Irvington NAACP is unhappy that the hospital closed in the first place and doesn't believe Kingdom's redevelopment ideas have greater value than local medical care. Irvington wants to sell the former hospital to avoid a local tax increase if the deal isn't approved before the end of June. Online research shows no Matawan address for Kingdom Development LLC, only small branch offices in Las Vegas and Florida, the latter address shared with a mortgage brokerage and a builder. Caveat emptor, Irvington.
