Middletown's planned Multi-use
Athletic Facility at Front Street fields put on hold.
After numerous objections by both local residents
and the Chargers Pop Warner Football Club, the township
has decided to indefinitely postpone their plans to build
a synthetic turf field at the soccer fields at the corner
of Everett Road and Front St. in Lincroft. Mayor Scharfenberger
sited economic reasons and cuts in state aid in announcing
the decision at the Neighborhood Meeting on March 23, 2010.

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. The county recently
approved the construction of a bridge at the location that
is west of Everett Rd. However, no acceptable bridge could
be built at the location of the pond opposite CBA. Instead,
the county will be removing a dam at the road and draining
the pond before building a foot bridge. The planned bridges
will be outside the current guard rails and will not require
any road construction. more>

Middletown Affordable Housing proposal:
On July 20, 2009 the Township Committee passed an Ordinance
#2009-2979 (Section 3, read here)
that changes the Master Plan to rezone the Avaya property
for multi-family dwellings, paving the way for a large development
of townhouses (most likely) with 20% of them being Affordable
Housing. (Read Asbury Press article here.)
The Planning Board had held a Special Meeting on Wednesday,
July 15th, at which they adopted a July 2009 Reexamination
Report and Amended Master Plan Land Use Element. The Amended
Master Plan is not yet posted on the Township's website
but should be soon. (link)
The Planning Board also passed a Resolution, recommending
the adoption of Ordinance #2009-2979. In April of this year
the state approved Middletown's Affordable Housing proposal
which was passed by the Township Committe on Dec. 11, 2008.
That proposal can be read here
and included 375 units to be built at the 68 acre Avaya
location on Middletown-Lincroft Rd with 75 designated as
'affordable' rentals. We encourage you to write to our various
public officials to voice your displeasure regarding the
COAH mandate. Feel free to add additional comments of your
own. Letters should be faxed to the numbers shown at the
end of the sample as well as being mailed or faxed to the
Governor. Sample
