Vineland is preparing to part with about 44 acres off 1615 West Garden Road, close to North Mill Road and the municipal industrial park. The sale price is about $1.15 million. About 33 acres of the property is not subject to wetlands restrictions.
An ordinance will be introduced this month to transfer the property, legally owned by city government, to the Vineland Industrial Commission, the city’s development arm.
The transfer is necessary because the commission is able to directly sell land to a specific buyer, while the city would have to publicly auction the property.
Forosisky said the buyer’s identity will be disclosed after a sales contract is reached. The buyer was not the first party interested in the area, though.

“The concept is it’s an all-inclusive’ park, where not only people with disabilities but children that don’t have any disabilities could all join together,” said city Solicitor Richard Tonetta. “For example, it might have a swing set that would hook up to a wheelchair.
“It’s really a really cool thing,” Tonetta said recently. “Now, we’re taking it a little bit further. We are including not only for children, but for adults. Because you can have someone that’s developmentally disabled, they have the body of a 25-year-old but the mind of a younger child. And so, there was really nothing for any of those people to enjoy.”
