Today's riddle: What did the wall say to the other wall. 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Data Center Ordinance Moves Forward In Bridgewater (patch.com) — Bridgewater officials are advancing a detailed ordinance to regulate current and future data centers, with final action targeted for Sept. 3 at town hall. The proposal sets strict standards on energy use, cooling, noise, environmental impacts and decommissioning, while a proposed data center at 1200 Route 22 and ongoing litigation over that site remain central to the debate. Residents and developers weighed in as council members framed the measure as a balanced alternative to outright bans seen elsewhere in New Jersey.
• Huge sculpture made of food cans at popular N.J. mall will help feed local residents (nj.com subscription) — Bridgewater Commons will host its first Canstruction contest Sept. 15–22, turning 10,000 donated Goya canned goods into giant sculptures before sending them to the Food Bank Network of Somerset County. Shoppers can visit Center Court to watch local companies, including Bridgewater-based Messer, build and then vote on designs that are expected to feed about 500 families for a month.
• Could Aaron Bossi's Yankees rise bring him back to Somerset? (mycentraljersey.com) — Yankees minor-league manager Aaron Bossi is drawing attention for his work with the High-A Hudson Valley Renegades, and several of his players could soon land with the Somerset Patriots in Bridgewater. Local fans may soon see prospects like Eric Genther and Bryce Cunningham debut at TD Bank Ballpark as the organization continues shuttling talent up to Double-A.
