You first heard about the new building on Main Street too late to express your opinion?

You can’t say that next time, when you discover what your Borough Council is doing now:

Before the end of June, the Council is going to adopt a new, so-called “Housing Element,” a plan that will shape the destiny of our town for the next decade.

So far, the Mayor & Council are keeping that plan a total secret. They haven’t revealed the number of new apartments, where they might be built, or what they will cost you in higher taxes, more traffic, environmental issues, or a lower quality of life.

All we know for sure is that the affordable housing quota won’t count the new 500-unit River Road redevelopment project the Council also has in the pipeline. https://chathamchoice.org/2025/02/things-fall-apart/ That will be in addition to the new housing plan.

Do you think the Borough can handle thousands of additional residents, or even their cars?

Can you stop that? Easily!

But unless you speak up soon, it will be too late. The plan will be a done deal.

If you care about the future of your hometown, you will start asking questions before it’s too late to make a difference.

Go to the Council meeting this Monday, April 28. Watch it online. Email the Mayor & Council
