TAKE ACTION: Development at Exit 109

RIVER CENTRE REDEVELOPMENT AND HOUSING AT EXIT 109

In 2022, the Middletown Planning Board recommended that River Centre South at Exit 109 be designated as an area in need of redevelopment.  To address the township’s affordable housing obligations, Middletown amended the Housing Plan Element of their Master Plan to permit apartments at the site.  The Conceptual Site Plan includes 340 units: 306 market rate and 34 affordable.  When completed, the plan will require NJDEP and the Middletown and Monmouth County Planning Boards’ approvals. A group of neighbors named Save Our Swimming River have petitioned to protect the sensitive ecosystem and endangered species of the Swimming River that borders the property.  The LVGA will continue to share information about meetings related to the application.  To learn more, contact [email protected] or go to Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/save.our.swimming.river
