At this time, the governing body has determined to hire new special redevelopment counsel to aggressively pursue any and all violations and breaches against Springfield Center Urban Renewal Corporation. At the same time, the Municipal Court violations against Springfield Center are continuing before Judge Rosenbluth in Maplewood to immediately resolve the illegal fence which violates municipal ordinances. Further, the Union County Board of Construction Appeals has several appeals which are pending and need to be determined as soon as possible. Township Attorney Dowd has been in contact with the County Counsel’s office and we hope they will be scheduled within the next 60 days.
We will continue to keep the public apprised as to all efforts to resolve this situation as expeditiously as possible.
Mayor Christopher Capodice
