East Brunswick Temple Unveils Revised Expansion Plan

EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ – Sadhu Vaswani Center, a Hindu temple in East Brunswick, recently submitted revised expansion plans including space for a nursery school.

The temple is located on Ryders Lane and Perry Road. They propose to demolish the existing facility and three residential structures on Perry Road and build a two-story, 16,133 square foot place of worship and a two-story nursery school, measuring 7,031 square feet.

The Township’s Planning Board was to meet on Wednesday, but the meeting was canceled, delaying the application hearing further. So far, no new date has been announced for the meeting.

Many residents have opposed the temple’s expansion plan citing traffic concurs and the size of the buildings. The property is located in a residential zone.

The revised plan includes a stormwater management and storage system, a parking lot with 75 parking spaces, and landscape and lighting plans.

The temple is seeking preliminary and final site plan approval as well as bulk variant relief.
