Inside one envelope sent to the Westwood shop was another addressed to Citibank, which had abandoned plans to take over the site about 14 years ago, a merchant on the block said. “There was a gripe, plus a threat against Citibank,” the merchant told CLIFFVIEWPILOT.COM.

Wendy Girard, who has owned Girard Interiors, with her husband, David, for more than a dozen years, “has been walking up and down the empty street for two hours,” the merchant said at 3 p.m.

Bergen County’s Hazardous Materials Team is at the Westwood Avenue shop. The FBI and the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office have been notified.

The Girards have serviced many high-end clients, including the Yankees, the Dallas Cowboys, the New England Patriots, the Make-a-Wish Foundation, CBSHD, FOX, and CNBC, according to their web site.
