WESTAMPTON A proposal to rezone nearly 90 acres along Burlington-Mount Holly Road could bring over 1,000 residential units to the township.
The township committee recently introduced an ordinance to establish the Agrihood Mixed Use (AMU) Zone at 1960 Burlington-Mount Holly Road, the 88-acre parcel that is currently home to the historic Hancock Farm, as part of the township s affordable housing compliance plan as required by the state.
The proposed zone will allow for the development of a minimum of 1,144 multi-family apartments/condos with a required 20% set aside of 228 affordable units centered around the 10-acre historic farm.
“Development of the AMU Zone will create a unique destination by supporting the continuation of agriculture and agricultural-related uses and activities, including preservation, reuse and retention of the existing farmhouse and historic barns, the proposal states.

Woman impersonated contact tracer, attempted to shut down N.J. business, authorities say
Updated Mar 10, 2021;
A woman pretending to be a contact tracer reached out to an Evesham Township plumber and threatened to shut down the business by falsely claiming it had not followed coronavirus isolation and cleaning protocols, authorities said.
Jennifer Strumph, 32, of Evesham Township, was charged March 4 with computer crime, criminal coercion with intent to harm reputation and assuming a false identity, according to a joint statement from the Evesham Township Police and the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office.
An investigation that was launched late last year allegedly revealed that Strumph had contacted the unidentified business and impersonated a Burlington County Health Department contact tracer, the office said. She created a fake email address to make her impersonation believable, the office said.
Jennifer Strumph, 32, allegedly used a fake email address to contact the plumber and inform him about the made-up violations, telling the business owner that she was a contact tracer working for the county. In response plumber spent more than $5,100 on employee overtime to comply with Strumph s requirements, the Burlington County Prosecutor s Office said Tuesday.
After employees became suspicious, they ultimately reached out to police who confirmed that Strumph did not work for the Burlington County Health Department.
Investigators said they don t know Strumph s motivation for the alleged scam. She is charged with a computer crime, assuming a false identity and criminal coercion. Strumph released, pending her next hearing date, after appearing in Burlington County Superior Court.
