3 Warehouse Applications To Be Heard In Bridgewater In Next 3 Months

BRIDGEWATER, NJ — While the Township Council did pass an ordinance limiting warehouse use in Bridgewater there are still three pending applications set to be heard at the end of December and into 2023.

Since the applications were submitted prior to the ordinance being passed on Oct. 17 they are not impacted by the new restrictions. The ordinance only impacts new applications. (See the ordinance below)

"We have a total of three warehouse applications that are being heard through the land use board and any new applications would have to be for an accessory use," said Councilman Timothy Ring at the Nov. 10 council meeting.

Here are the three pending applications residents can expect to see in the next three months:
