The postponements is costing the objectors unnecessary legal fees. We have been paying our attorneys to prepare, show up and wait in the lobby.
I would like to clarify one thing which in talking to Middletown residents outside of Lincroft do not realize. The Lincroft residents are not objecting because they do not want 'affordable housing' in their area. The Council on Affordable Housing requires only 68 affordable housing units. The town's proposal is to build 324 residential units. 256 units will be available at market prices. Who benefits from building the additional units? Just the builder! More police service, a new school building (the current one is at maximum capacity), more municipal services will be repercussions from the town's proposed plan. Middletown residents' taxes will be used to pay for these expenses. Just build the 68 required units and donate the rest of the land to Green Acres.
