Last month, on March 29th, the Council was present at a special ribbon cutting of the newly renovated municipal building.

The development is JDN Enterprises, LLC and the developers are Frank Petrino, an employee from the Eckert Seamans firm. Frank, a lawyer, has experience in acquiring land for real estate purposes. Windsor 8 Logistics would be constructed five miles within NJ Turnpike, 399 Princeton-Hightstown Road in Exit 8.

The development is the Reserve and the developers are Richard Hoff, an employee at Bisgaier Hoff, LLC. Richard, a lawyer, has been successful at using land for a variety of development purposes.
