Open Space Land Exchange and Preservation
Summary
The township is trading its mostly unbuildable Treader property (plus open space funds) for the 83-acre Conway tract, the last large developable parcel in Middletown — possibly worth up to 1,000 homes under Mount Laurel rules. It also cuts the township's fourth-round affordable housing obligation by 50-60 units, but five tenants on the land must move within 60 days.

Funded by the open space trust fund and bonds, with a hoped-for 75% county grant coming back to the township — no new tax increase expected.
Residents who want open space, trails and less development pressure — plus neighbors of the tract.
Five tenants living on the property, who must relocate within 60 days.
