Middletown Affordable Housing proposal:
On Dec. 11, 2008, the Middletown Planning Department
released its newest proposal for Affordable Housing
(can be read here).
The Lincroft community is slated to have 375 units at
the 68 acre Avaya location on Middletown-Lincroft Rd
after the current building is demolished. Of those 375
units, 75 are designated as 'affordable' rentals. The
proposal was passed by the Township Committee on Dec.
11th and, although two public hearings were originally
scheduled, the second public hearing (Dec. 18th) was
canceled. The LVGA feels that it is unacceptable for
the Township Committee to schedule two public hearings,
pass the proposal at the first hearing and cancel the
second. Please write to our various public officials
to voice your displeasure. The letters should be faxed,
preferably before Dec. 31st to the numbers shown at
the end of the this sample letter>.

County Multi-purpose Path Construction along
CR520: The county has installed a multi-purpose
path along the south side of Newman Springs Road along
Thompson Park but it is incomplete at two wetland areas.
We have been informed that, although a permanent bridge
plan has not yet been approved, the county has been
given permission to erect a temporary pre-fabricated
bridge at the pond that is located along the path, opposite
CBA. This should be taking place early in 2009. more>
