Committee Tries to Debunk Redevelopment Rumors
“The township committee tried again Monday to debunk rumors that its latest redevelopment efforts are aimed at driving out existing businesses along Route 130.
Deputy Mayor Anthony Minniti attempted to soothe those concerns at this week’s committee meeting, insisting not only is eminent domain not on the table, it’s incredibly difficult—legally—to exercise.
“The idea that a viable business could be taken and handed over to another viable business is, to say it’s an impossibility would be an understatement. It just isn’t the reality of how eminent domain is used,” said Minniti, adding, “Philosophically, the committee has had issues with the idea of eminent domain, and government seizure of property.””
