Edison mayor requests county consider open space purchase on Glendale Avenue, site of proposed warehouse development × EDISON – The Glendale and Silverlake neighborhood has garnered support from township officials and the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders to preserve the property at 41 Glendale Ave. as open space. Mayor Thomas Lankey has written a letter to Freeholder Director Ronald Rios requesting the county consider the purchase of the property through the Middlesex County Preserving Open Space program. The township’s Open Space Advisory Committee wrote a letter to the mayor and Township Council in support of preserving the area as open space. In the letter they recommended the township engage a professional land preservation organization such as The Land Conservancy of New Jersey to manage the acquisition of the site. The organization has experience dealing with developers and knows how to apply for funding for preservation, the committee said.
