Jerel Washington PLANNING OF DEVELOPMENT, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC, IS ALWAYS AN EXCELLENT INDICATOR THAT THE ECONOMY IS STRONG. THIS IS WHAT IS HAPPENING IN NEW JERSEY. IN THE SUBURBAN OF UNION COUNTY, ALONG THE RARITAN VALLEY LINE, A GROUP OF INDUSTRIAL AND COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES COULD SOON BE THE SITE FOR DEVELOPING A NEW MIXED-USE UNIT.
T
he pieces of land, located at 118, 120, 130, and 138 West Webster Avenue in Roselle Park, are the center of discussion of an application package submitted by 140 W. Webster Ave, LLC. The current premises sitting on the land cover more than an acre near Roselle Park High School and the Locust Street entrance to the Roselle Park Train Station. The site has been occupied for years by companies including C&M Pools and H&H Engineering Associates. If the plan is passed by the local authorities, the existing structures will be demolished to pave the way for the new development. According to a November 3 memo from Neglia Engineering Associates to the Roselle Park Municipal Land Use Board, the proposal constitutes a three-story unit, with 57 residential units and 4,000 square feet of retail space. The memo further 42
l
indicated that six of the residential units would be “affordable.” The memo also noted that there would be 38 one-bedroom units, 18 two-bedroom units, and one three-bedroom unit, along with 92 parking spaces in the project. According to site plans sent to Jersey Digs by Roselle Park municipal authorities from GK+A Architects, the development will include a roof deck and 1250 square feet of an outdoor public plaza. The Roselle Park Municipal Land Use Board was set to hear the development plans during its meeting scheduled for November 16, 2020.
