• Berkeley Heights and Scotch Plains-Fanwood: Terrace II Review and ESCO Award (nj21st.com) — Scotch Plains-Fanwood schools are moving ahead with a major energy-savings contract that could bring $10–14 million in HVAC, lighting, roofing, and solar upgrades across district buildings. At the same time, nearby Berkeley Heights is wrestling with engineering and tax-incentive questions on its Terrace II development, offering a glimpse of how large projects can affect local infrastructure and finances.
