Many residents expressed their opposition to specific development plans, said that the township doesn’t need more residential buildings or retail spaces and requested a public representative on the Planning Committee.
Mary Kay Adams objected to plans for 410 Main Street. She stated, “My neighbors started a Facebook page called ‘410MainStreetWO’ and are collecting petition signatures to stop it.” Adams said the proposed five-story building will be too high and won’t fit into the design of the neighborhood.
She noted that West Orange doesn’t need additional retail spaces because there are many empty stores right now. Adams concluded that the 410 Main Street area will be congested and will lack parking.
DEAL, N.J. (AP) â New Jersey s wide, sandy beaches have been paid for by taxpayers across the U.S., from wheat farmers in Kansas to fishermen in Alaska.
But for decades, local governments in some Jersey Shore towns â and elsewhere around the country â have used a variety of tactics to keep outsiders off their sand.
One of the most effective methods has been restricting parking near the beach. The practical effect in shore towns like Deal, a wealthy enclave popular with New York doctors, lawyers and business executives, has been that people who don t live within walking distance of the sand are often not able to use it.

Board members want the president of BridgeValley Community & Technical College to submit a plan to address a recent faculty vote of no confidence.
“I think this is really important for the continued reconciliation of some of these matters that were brought to our attention. I think the board and president should try to work together to try to reconcile some of those issues,” said Barry Holstein, one of several new board members for the South Charleston community college.

Faculty at the college had a no confidence vote last week on President Eunice Bellinger and chief academic officer Pete Soscia, according to reporting by The Charleston Gazette-Mail. Soscia was announced to have resigned during a board meeting April 16.
