To: Anyone wanting to prevent massive overdevelopment of Waretown

From: Save Barnegat Bay

About: Please write concerning
“Town Center” Designation by the State Plan

The State Planning Commission’s Plan Implementation Committee is currently considering a proposed high density “Town Center” that would sprawl the length of Wells Mills Road (including most of the woods to the north), along Route 9, and along Old Main Street.

You can help prevent this overdevelopment by writing the Commission to express your point of view.

To express your desire to see the area along Route 532 kept undeveloped, to maintain Waretown’s rural character, and to offer other comments, please write:

Timothy J. Touhey, Chairman
NJ State Planning Commission
PO Box 204
Trenton, NJ 08625-0204

Or email Chairman Touhey at:

Timothy_J_Touhey@Fanniemae.com

Or phone NJ State Planning Commission:

609-292-7156
