Public Hearing on Proposed Quick Chek to Continue Tuesday

Bridgewater, NJ -- Round four.

Continued discussions on Quick Chek’s application to build a new location in Bridgewater between Route 28 and Route 22 East is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m.

The Bridgewater Zoning Board meeting will be held at Bridgewater-Raritan High School located at 600 Garretson Road in the auditorium.

This will be the fourth public hearing on the project, which calls for a 24-hour, 5,700-square-foot convenience market on Route 22 East at the site of the vacant 5.47-acre Tectonic property. There will also be 16 gas pumps and two deisel pumps.

The first hearing in June drew more than 300 residents at the municipal complex, which exceeded the building’s capacity.

The second meeting, on Nov. 17, ran over the three-hour allotted time slot with more than 400 people showing up to ask questions about the project. Emotions ran high at the previous meeting causing applause, cheering, booing and screaming to occur.

The third meeting on Dec. 1, held at the Somerset County Vocational and Technical School, drew less residents than previously yet it still lasted the full three hours.
