Town council last week voted 3-2 to direct the Phillipsburg Planning Board to draw up a rezoning from residential to industrial for the wooded, undeveloped land between the industrial uses on Howard Street and the Delaware River. Councilman Harry Wyant Jr., raising concerns about truck traffic downtown, voted no along with Councilwoman Danielle DeGerolamo.
