Affordable Housing Development Behind Bayer Receives Planning Approval; No Tax Incentives Offered
A resident asked about plans submitted for a large piece of land sold behind Bayer. It was confirmed that planning board approval was received, and developer agreements are being submitted, though building permits have not yet been issued. The development will be an affordable housing project with six units per acre, which is significantly lower than the county average for affordable housing. No tax abatements or enticements were offered to the developer.
Hanover Township Compliant with State-Mandated Affordable Housing Program
A resident inquired about the township's affordable housing program. It was explained that the program is in its fourth round and is a state mandate. The township pushed back on the numbers and minimized the total buildout within the law. While challengers want the township to build more, the current plan has met with court approvals. The township is compliant with the state program and does not have a 'builder's remedy' available.
Township Celebrates Summer with Events, Recreational Facilities, and Art Displays
The township hosted a successful patriotic celebration with fireworks on July 1st, featuring reenactors. A previous concert sponsored by Cultural Arts was also patriotic-themed and nearly sold out. The new skating rink is open and popular, with plans to flood it for ice skating in the winter. The splash pad is operational and the pool has seen high registration numbers. New art is displayed in the hallway, rotating every two months. An upcoming 'Park in the Dark' event is scheduled for July 29th at B Meadow Park, led by a local historian.
