They need to convert it back to a golf course. And also make it into a nice banquest hall so people could rent it out to parties ans all the money they make for it, goes directly to the town's budget. We have enough houses in this town. We need something to help our town budget and lower taxes for the taxpayers.

Yes, A golf course and banquet hall would probably work as well as a Swim Club run by the township!

Yes, you are correct, Ed.

So the plan is to "knock down" the office building that is there, and build houses... yikes, so we take a rateable and turn it into something that generates just more and more services that we have to pay for. Seems best to keep it an office building, price the equity in the building/land at what it is worth as it is, and get someone in there that can both employ people and not use up more town services. That's why we got the office building there to begin with, it was a valid argument then, and a valid argument now

The postponements is costing the objectors unnecessary legal fees. We have been paying our attorneys to prepare, show up and wait in the lobby.

I would like to clarify one thing which in talking to Middletown residents outside of Lincroft do not realize. The Lincroft residents are not objecting because they do not want 'affordable housing' in their area. The Council on Affordable Housing requires only 68 affordable housing units. The town's proposal is to build 324 residential units. 256 units will be available at market prices. Who benefits from building the additional units? Just the builder! More police service, a new school building (the current one is at maximum capacity), more municipal services will be repercussions from the town's proposed plan. Middletown residents' taxes will be used to pay for these expenses. Just build the 68 required units and donate the rest of the land to Green Acres.

This project will certainly be approved, to think otherwise is unrealistic. The attorney for the developer, Rick Brodsky, is a former member of the Middletown Twp. Committee and a former mayor. So we have seen this committee let a methadone clinic open in town, take control of the public library and rob their coffers of monies that were dedicated for improvements at the Library, so they could balance their budget which they lost control of and send the engineering work to their crony engineer. Work that had already been done by an engineer hired by the library. We saw our school system, which is controlled by the GOP lay off 72 teachers, increase class sizes, fire an effective HS principal for political payback, all while they continue to refuse to broadcast their meetings on the township public access channel. What other dirty tricks are they trying to hide?

Great story Elaine......Greg.

Note to Ed, who replied to Riley2012 -- The Avaya site had indeed been a golf course in the 1970s and in part of the 1980s. It was known as "Fore Lakes". After that, it became the Lincroft site of AT&T. Riley2012 is not confusing this with the development at Bamm Hollow.

I recall it being a driving range. I AM opposed to the rediculous proposal for 324 unit plan. It's totally wrong for that area. I am ALL for the 68 house/open space plan. I am eager to move back to the area i grew up in and this would be an ideal opportunity to bring my family back to an awesome town. (although it won't be so awesome if there's a huge row house complex...the town's character will be RUINED!)

Oh BTW ... I didn't realize they said 68 "affordable housing units"...that's a joke. I'm willing to move back into Lincroft if they build decent family homes (like they've been building in Millstone and Jackson) I WON'T move back if they build a 324 unit row house complex. Fight this Lincroft!!! This will impact your property values. Lincroft will become a much less desirable place to live. Look what happened to all those "small charming" towns in North Jersey (e.g. Rahway, Linden, Woodbridge) it's all transients now.
