Edison Seeks Control Of Ford Site Redevelopment
From the Star Ledger:
Edison wants leverage on former Ford plant
BY SULEMAN DIN
Looking to control the largest redevelopment site in Edison, the township council has authorized the planning board to study whether the former Ford assembly plant on Route 1 can be designated an area in need of redevelopment.
If the move is approved, the council would become the redevelopment authority, with the final say on any zoning or planning changes for the site.
...
The redevelopment of the Ford site -- the centerpiece in Edison's plans to revitalize its portion of the Route 1 corridor -- has been delayed by various factors.
Residents and council members sent Hartz back to the drawing board in January, loudly denouncing the vision for the site that the developer revealed.
The plans called for 275 age-restricted condominiums, a 150-room hotel, an office building and a "town square" that would encom pass a movie theater, shops, and restaurants. Bookending the property would be two big-box retail stores. Less than 3 percent of the 98-acre property would be set aside for township use.

More age restrictive.
NJ is a state that does not get it.
It's trendy,but not good for the
long run.
Grim, was right yesterday. What
happens to all the houses that
are sold my the people moving
into the age restrictive.
They all can't sell for 400-700K.
Didn't you hear? All the seniors want to retire in New Jersey, it's the new Florida.
grim
I think many seniors are in for
a shock as they try to stay in
NJ.
The costs are just to much for
many, and they don't know it yet.
many of these over 55 places are
dumps . Construction is crap, and
they are so overpriced.
Then add the taxes on,
How about Hovanian in the Clifton
development. They want you to
only go thru the sales agents to see the joint.
They are trying to hold it out
as exclusive. Clifton?
400-700K or better.
I don't think so.
And Traffic, thats another subject.
patient homebuyer,
Taxes - Edison reasonable for NJ because of commercial & office space
Commute to NYC - Very good, as Metro Park station is right in Edison (but VERY crowded)
Crime - Higher than average in NJ
Schools - Below average
Also, Edison is VERY crowded (towns that far south of NNJ ought not to be that crowded).
