The 2 million square feet of warehouses were expected to bring 1,200 construction jobs and just as many permanent jobs once they were finished.
A New Jersey developer is mysteriously walking away from a proposal to build more than 2 million square feet of warehouses in Roxbury, New Jersey after more than two years of negotiations with the township.
The abandoned plan is the latest in the ongoing saga to bring jobs and tax revenue to the suburban township, where the 990-acre property — theof available developable land in Morris County — has been empty for more than two decades. But local officials have questioned whether the township's infrastructure could handle the tractor-trailer traffic associated with a massive set of five warehouses.
New Jersey has developed a recent reputation as a place where the warehouse industry can thrive, much to environmentalists' chagrin.from the Environmental Defense Fund and Clean Water Action, there are 3,034 warehouses in New Jersey that cover 527 million square feet and generate 380,000 truck trips per day. According to the report, 2.7 million New Jerseyans live within a half-mile of a warehouse.
Members of the township council also didn’t immediately respond to a request from Gothamist for comment on the matter. But Roxbury Planning Board Chair Charles Bautz told, Hartz Mountain was founded by Max Stern in 1926 “when he imported his first shipment of singing canaries from his native Germany to America.” Today, the company focuses on industrial and multifamily real estate. Recent projects from Hartz Mountain include 200-plus residential unit buildings in Weehawken and Hoboken.
