Not all residents are in favor of this proposed development. In fact Clark Mayor Sal Bonaccorso and the Clark Township Council passed a resolution on July 3 expressing Clark’s opposition to the development.

Bonaccorso and the town council have also started a petition where they are urging Clark citizens 18 and older to sign it. The petition will be available for residents to sign on July 10 and 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. in Room 30 in Town Hall. Bonaccorso will also be going door to door asking residents to sign the petition as well, according to tapinto.net.
