Crème de la Crepes, located at 12-56 River Road, was featured recently in The Record for its introduction of European-style crepes in countless variations for breakfast, lunch, dinner or dessert!

Owned by Fair Lawn residents Svetlana and Leonard Spivak, Crème de la Crepes’ attractive dining room and sparkling clean space in one of the River Road District’s several new commercial buildings is attracting a lot of attention for its great food and warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Grants are available to Fair Lawn businesses (depending on location), to provide financial incentives, which would make higher quality signs and awnings more affordable.

TWO TYPES OF GRANTS:

1. The Business Zone Sign and Awning Grant Program can be considered by any business or property owner located in any of Fair Lawn’s business zones.
2. The Sign and Awning Grant Program is available only to businesses located in one of Fair Lawn’s two Special Improvement Districts - River Road or Broadway.
