Top issues during term (20)(Development)
Sentinel Data Center air permit (NJDEP)
A data center could add tax revenue and construction jobs, but residents and ratepayers could get stuck with higher utility and infrastructure costs.
Habitat for Humanity Land Sale at 168 Churchill Avenue
The lot generates no tax revenue for the township and counts toward the affordable housing obligation if built.
Affordable housing on Main Street and Kossuth Street
Building on township-donated land keeps costs down, but the project counts toward a 659-unit state obligation rather than adding tax revenue.
Sterling Pointe second apartment building
No direct township cost; the township will work with the applicant on full water supply once the master permit is issued.
Habitat for Humanity Land Conveyance
The township conveys the vacant lots to Habitat rather than selling at market rate, in exchange for affordable housing units.
L'Oreal plant expansion extension
Dispensary drive-through reactivation on Route 27
Proposed 258,150 sq. ft. warehouse at 1950 Easton Avenue
Not quantified at this hearing; no ruling yet.
Extension of development approvals at 195-215 Davidson Avenue
Extension fee of $250 paid; no direct cost to taxpayers.
Short-Term Rental Regulations
Second 30-unit apartment building at Spangenberg Lane
Adds 30 apartment units to the Somerset section, with tax and school-impact effects not detailed in the agenda.
Three-lot subdivision at 426 Ralph Street
Two new single-family homes would join the Ralph Street neighborhood, adding to the tax base; costs not quantified.
Future of 135 Davidson Avenue: church/school retention vs. large warehouse
A large speculative warehouse could bring jobs and ratables to the corridor but residents worry about truck traffic and the loss of the cultural center.
Skillmans Lane farm subdivision
No direct township cost — the easement preserved farmland at no new expense; the new home will go on the tax rolls when built.
EV charging stations at Somerset Street Wawa
No direct township cost; private investment in charging infrastructure.
PSE&G Bennetts Lane substation improvements
No direct municipal cost; reliability improvements benefit roughly 17,500 electric customers.
Gravel vs. paved driveways on Habitat homes
426 Ralph Street Redevelopment
Adds two new homes to the township's housing stock and cleans up a problem property.
Extension of previously approved developments
426 Ralph Street three-lot subdivision
Two new homes would add to the local tax base but also to school and service demands.
