Today's riddle: What is the longest word in the dictionary? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Belleville Eminent Domain Battle Continues Over 'Great Lawn' Property (patch.com) — Belleville officials are pressing ahead with an eminent domain case over the "Great Lawn" at Belleville and Franklin avenues, with a key court hearing set for Aug. 28. The township is seeking to formally acquire 580 Belleville Avenue and 233 Franklin Avenue for public use after offering $85,000, and a Superior Court judge will now decide whether its eminent domain powers were properly exercised.
• If Beltley wants to become N.J.'s 565th municipality, here's what it would take (newjerseyglobe.com) — A Nutley resident's tongue‑in‑cheek bid to create "Beltley" between the Nutley and Belleville signs actually involves land that legally belongs to Belleville. The story explains that carving a new municipality from this Belleville playground and parking lot would require the township's consent, legislative action in Trenton, possible voter approval, and a full plan for services and costs.
