Help Shape The Vision For Green Brook's Village Center

GREEN BROOK, NJ — The Township of Green Brook is looking to revamp its downtown area and wants your help.

In cooperation with the North Jersey Planning Authority, the township has launched a study to explore the possibilities of establishing a town center that would provide a lively, walkable and inviting spot for both residents and visitors.

The Village Center Re-Zoning Project study will focus on the township’s existing Village Commercial District – the area along Washington Avenue from the Route 22 corridor to the Dunellen border, and along Greenbrook Road from Park Avenue to the former Green Brook Swim Club. This area is currently zoned for a mix of commercial and residential uses.

The goal of the study is to improve pedestrian and bicycle mobility and increase access to public transportation.

“Public involvement is key to this planning study. There will be a series of public engagement sessions where community members will help create a vision for a town center,” said Green Brook Mayor Patrick Boccio.

There are two ways for the public to get involved:

1. Fill out the survey HERE.
2. Attend a public meeting. The next public workshop will be held on Wednesday, May 31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Green Brook Middle School Cafeteria, 132 Jefferson Ave., Green Brook.
