Stop & Shop Discussions, Committee to Approve Budget and Girls' Night Out: This Week Ahead

On Monday, the Zoning Board of Adjustment Meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. in Town Hall on the second floor. Agenda is attached for review.

Discussion will continue on the proposed Stop & Shop on Millburn Avenue in Springfield. Testimony from the supermarket started in March 2012 but has met much resitence from residents, such as Residents for Traffic Safety. The main concern raised has been the increased traffic as well as truck traffic on Millburn Avenue. 

What do you think? Do you have any issues with a new food store moving in on Millburn Avenue? Let us know in the comments.

The committee is slated to read and adopt the 2013-14 municpal budget with a public hearing. The $50.5 million budget was introduced at the beginning of April and if approved will raise taxes on the average assessed township home by more than $100.

The event will take place between 4 p.m. – 9 p.m. (rain or shine) where local merchants will open their doors and offer in-store specials and / or events throughout the night, helping to create a night to remember for all participants.
