And more is likely to be added to that.
Asked by Township Committee member Jerry Ryan to update the TC on the legal bills at Tuesday night's meeting, Desiderio said a total of $27,383.50 had been billed from three attorneys related to the project.
Most recently, Village Keepers. Inc. appealed approval of the project by the Maplewood Village Alliance, setting up a lengthy appeals process by the Planning Board.
Desiderio said he did not know how much higher the legal costs would go, but said, "I wouldn't be surprised if another $4,000 to $5,000" was needed before it is over, adding, "I can't tell you how much more."
The project is a three-story, 20-unit, five-retail store complex slated for the former post office site. The Planning Board is set to continue its review of the site plan on Sept. 29.

I wish we could sue these people for suing Maplewood on something like this. Sapping our tax money on something so ridiculous. Shameful.
