Town Hall To Discuss Affordable Housing Issue In Basking Ridge

BASKING RIDGE, NJ — Friends of Stop the Quarry Plan (STQP), Assembly Leader Jon Bramnick and Bernards Township will host a town hall meeting on May 14 on the affordable housing issue, COAH legislation and other pressing and topical concerns in Bernards Township.

Members of STQP reached out to Bramnick requesting the town hall meeting following concerns concerns related to over-development in Bernards Township in relation to affordable housing.

“There are many issues, especially affordable housing, that should not only be addressed at the township level but should include an open dialog at the county and state level. The NJ State legislature establishes the laws and how they will be enforced. This presents an opportunity for Bernards Township residents to access and collaborate with our representatives in Trenton. We are grateful for this exciting opportunity to have our voices heard.”

Bramnick will discuss and field questions on the affordable housing issue and COAH legislation that is currently before the state legislature — a bill of which the assemblyman is one of the sponsors.

He will also discuss other pressing and topical concerns in Bernards Township such as school safety, mental health, and the opioid epidemic.

The town hall will be held at 7 p.m. in the Bernards Township Municipal Building, Warren Craft Meeting Room, at 1 Collyer Lane in Basking Ridge.

Residents are asked to email their questions and concerns to info@stopthequarryplan.com prior to May 7, so topics can be organized. There will also be an opportunity for open public comment and questions at
the May 14 town hall.
