Council member Jocelyn Mathiasen calls our flyer “highly inaccurate.”

Our Mayor calls it “false and erroneous.”

So why hasn’t either one cited a single error in the flyer?

Here we go again!

Myth: Our Mayor and Borough Council wouldn’t plop a giant apartment block in the middle of town without first airing some options.

Reality: Behind the scenes, they’ve already sacrificed our options. Now they’re all but bound to :

build a 100+ rental unit, high density apartment block that will
put hundreds more cars on Main Street and
replace our free, open Post Office Parking Lot with a dangerous, multilevel parking garage.

Don’t wait until it’s too late.

Get the facts.

Come to the next Borough Council meeting:

Chatham Borough Hall, 3d floor

Would you like to see even more traffic in Chatham Borough?

How about a dangerous, hulking parking garage?

less open, public parking?

More empty storefronts?

More crowded schools?

Rising taxes for police, firefighters, water, sewer, etc?

Lower property values?

That’s exactly what you can expect

if our borough Council lets the Kushner real estate developers

build a corporate welfare, commercial apartment/retail project

behind our Main Street Post Office.

Get the facts before it’s too late!

Don’t sacrifice Chatham to the big developer!

Now we have a great alternative for the 5 acres behind the Main Street Post Office!

It includes more surface parking and a pretty public green space.

Longtime Chatham businesswoman and civic leader Fran Drew conceived this idea as an alternative to the proposals offered by the big Kushner developers, who stand to profit by using corporate welfare PILOT tax breaks to build a project that will destroy our little Chatham Borough, with big expenses and even more traffic on Main Street.

Chatham residents are excited about this fresh idea, which is aimed at preserving and enhancing our community.
