• Berkeley Heights Set to Release 14 Affordable Units at Villas on the Park During 10/06 TC Meeting (nj21st.com) — Berkeley Heights officials are poised tonight to approve a settlement that lets 14 affordable units at Villas on the Park lose their income restrictions as they expire, without seeking an extension.
