The newest proposal, while not fully disclosed, calls for allowing the community to exist behind small commercial store fronts along Route 88, such as a bank, service station or daycare center. Township Planner Mike Fowler says, “Over time, people have left, so they’re not going to reduce the number of units. The people still living there will have a place to reside, but there will be less of them because people have sold their (homes) and have left the property.”
The company, JSM at Martin Blvd., LLC, will have to obtain a use variance and submit a full site plan proposal prior to any development being approved, as shorebeat informs MHProNews. In 2006 concrete tainted with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) from the former Ford Motor Company manufacturing plant in Edison was discovered at the site, prompting the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to order the concrete removed. ##
