Mayor denies affordable housing application amid concerns over stream corridor Mayor denies affordable housing application amid concerns over stream corridor
Mayor Shawn Lipani moved to deny the Campus Associates application on Feb. 25, and subsequently the application was unanimously denied by the Hillsborough Planning Board. Various overarching environmental concerns lead to the denial, according to information provided by the township. “Public health and safety is always the top priority in Hillsborough Township, and this was the impetus for my motion,” Lipani said in the statement. The Campus Associates application did encompass an affordable housing element (23 units) and therefore, as a result of this denial, there will be potential litigation brought against the township, according to the statement.
