LATEST POST OFFICE PLAN RELEASED

The Township has released the latest redevelopment plan for the Maplewood Village Post Office site.

In does not include any specific construction or changes, but notes in its description:

The Redevelopment Plan will redefine the existing Maplewood Village
Post Office site and adjoining areas. The introduction of new housing
to the rehabilitation area will promote a strong residential base in this
portion of Maplewood, providing a stronger market to support commercial 
uses in Maplewood Village. Other potential upper floor uses
such as offices or a hotel would also benefit Maplewood Village by
bringing workers and/or visitors to the area. Development will be 
transit-oriented in nature to take advantage of the adjacent New Jersey
Transit railroad station. Ground floor retail use would complement existing 
commercial uses in the vicinity. In addition, the increased number of 
residents, shoppers, workers and other visitors will help enliven Maplewood Village.

The entire plan is available for review HERE.

The Township Committee will discuss the latest version of the plan next Tuesday, June 18, at its regular committee meeting.
