We wrote about the plan that is being considered first after it was revealed last Monday and offered the first glimpse of the plan from L&M Development to have a 10,000-square-foot retail space - perhaps for Kings - in the three-story project, with 25 housing units.
The Star-Ledger story seems to rely a lot on Engage Maplewood, an aggressive group which includes one of the developers whose plan was rejected.
See their story HERE. The Township Committee plans to vote on the plan Jan. 7.
We asked Kings weeks ago if they would be interested in moving to the new space, given that they recently made improvement to the existing store. They said they could not commit, but would comsider it.
The current Maplewood Village post office is set to close in March and relocate to a Springfield ave. location, different from the current Springfield Avenue location.
Mayor Vic De Luca told us via email that the township is looking for a possible Maplewood Village space for at least a storefront post office location.
This Star-Ledger story follows the recent Wall Street Journal story that properly praised Maplewood's improvements, but glossed over the past controversies regarding the Women's Club sale.

At least this article didn't include the Mayor bragging about how many gay marriages he performed. lol
