According to the most recent information available, the demolition of 26 Center Street will begin this week or early next week. On August 7, 2023, Springfield Center finally submitted the permit application. Springfield Center is expected to provide the updated pest abatement certification and pay the required fee within one (1) day. The two contiguous neighbors have been advised. Upon completion of the demolition, all the remnants of 26 Center Street will be removed from the site.
With regard to other issues, the traffic signal pole at the corner of Caldwell Place and Morris Avenue is now accessible. We are still seeking to get the fence moved back along Caldwell Place before James Caldwell Elementary School begins in September.
Supposedly the 6” block has now arrived which will be placed on the Caldwell Place side of the structure. Substantial work has been done on the Center Street portion of the project.
The Township is still trying to get Springfield Center to address the issues concerning accessibility for the Morris Avenue sidewalk. We will continue to keep you advised concerning the progress of the project.
Stay safe!
Mayor Christopher Capodice
