1. In 2014, 72 percent of Glen Rock residents voted against artificial turf.
2. In 2021, the world was in the throes of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic. During this time it was difficult (and in some cases illegal) to gather in groups. This inhibited the ability to garner votes to again place an artificial turf vote on a town-wide ballot.
