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. more>

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.
