SCOTCH PLAINS, NJ — The public will have a chance to speak on an application proposing to build 228 housing units along Terrill Road.

A letter was sent out to neighboring residents alerting them of the Scotch Plains Planning Board's public hearing set for Monday, Sept. 23 at 7:30 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 430 Park Ave., in Scotch Plains.

The meeting will go over the application by SP Reserve Urban Renewal LLC for the roughly 13.5 acre property at 1325 Terrill Road. The property is located in the Parker Gardens Redevelopment Area.
