Hey everyone! Figured I would post this on this subreddit, since this involves Ocean Township. Myself, Former Town Councilwoman candidate Jacqui Wenzel, and a group of concerned citizens are trying to pack out the Town Hall meeting on December 12th at 6:30pm to let our voice be heard about the land swap proposed for the land included in the swap! The land in question is next to the library, and has previously been shown the same fate with the construction of the Ocean Commons located on the same side of the road on Deal Road. The town has already used $27,000 to assess the meadow for development and was named the most viable option in town. Considering the large shopping centers (Like Orchard Plaza) that sit vacant, much can be done to avoid developing natural land. Let’s remember that new construction will always be more expensive than existing- and for about the price of a new Toyota, have had people come to see if the land can be built upon. While it is suitable, sure, and convenient sure, it is formerly indigenous land, and any effort to excavate could mean that archaeological finds must be conducted, and properly identify if this is land is truly your best option compared to a place like Orchard Plaza, or extending their complex more into the BJ’s Wholesale area on the Wayside side. Any support would be greatly appreciated!!! Please find all information in attached flyer!
