Sign the Petition to Protect Holmdel’s Future
At the Township Committee meeting last week the new owner of the 88-acre former home of Vonage at South Holmdel Road and 23 Main Street presented his plans for a high-density residential development. Holmdel residents came out to express their concerns about the plans.
The site is located within NJ State Planning Area 5, an environmentally-sensitive region where development should be limited. It is currently in the OL2 zone which allows for offices, laboratories, a conference center or retail farm markets, but not residential housing. Despite this, the presentation depicted 300 units of high-density senior housing including the renovation of the current building, 50 townhomes and two additional three story buildings.
Please read and sign the petition below if you don't agree with more high-density development in southern Holmdel. This petition will be sent to the Holmdel Township Committee. Below the petition are links to two recent articles about the project and its potential impacts on Holmdel.
