SOMERSET, NJ – A project to build what the town is calling a “grandparents park” is drawing criticism from residents who said the plan furthers the erosion of “bucolic” Franklin. Concerns over safety, the park’s potential impact on wildlife and the site’s proximity to other parks and amenities brought at least 30 residents out in opposition to the project at last night’s special council meeting dedicated to the proposal.
Officials said the estimated $550,000 in funding for the project would come from the town’s Open Space Trust Fund – generated by a special tax that can only be spent on developing and preserving open space, farmland and historic properties. The money raised through this tax cannot be used for general budgeting by the town.

While decorating for the holidays is a tradition, too often strings of burnt out or damaged holiday lights end up being tossed out with household garbage.
There is a greener way to properly dispose of these decorations. Instead of discarding non-working lights in the trash, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders want residents to give them a second life by bringing them to the county’s Resource Recovery Complex, where a permanent electronics disposal center is staffed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 7-11:30 a.m. Saturdays.
