LONG HILL TWP. - State legislators are pushing back against Fair Share Housing by sponsoring a bill to delay the fourth round of affordable housing obligations from July 1, 2025
WESTAMPTON A proposal to rezone nearly 90 acres along Burlington-Mount Holly Road could bring over 1,000 residential units to the township.
The township committee recently introduced an ordinance to establish the Agrihood Mixed Use (AMU) Zone at 1960 Burlington-Mount Holly Road, the 88-acre parcel that is currently home to the historic Hancock Farm, as part of the township s affordable housing compliance plan as required by the state.
The proposed zone will allow for the development of a minimum of 1,144 multi-family apartments/condos with a required 20% set aside of 228 affordable units centered around the 10-acre historic farm.
“Development of the AMU Zone will create a unique destination by supporting the continuation of agriculture and agricultural-related uses and activities, including preservation, reuse and retention of the existing farmhouse and historic barns, the proposal states.
