Dear Neighbors,
I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
This issue includes an announcement of a new
grant for the township, an update on
expansions to the recreation facility, some
new business coming to Lumberton, and a few
new items on the Community
Calendar.
Two New
Multi-Purpose Fields: Earlier this
fall, the Township seeded two additional
multipurpose fields at the new recreation
center next to the municipal building. The two fields are expected to
be available for play by the Fall of 2008.
New Office
Buildings on Route 38: The Land
Development Board approved the construction of
two single story 25,000 square foot office buildings on
Route 38 behind Lucas
Chevrolet. The developer plans to build
one building right away. The initial
building is expected
to be leased to the NJ Department of Family
Services to provide desk space for their field
case workers.
New
Business on Ark Road: On November
15th, the Land Development Board approved the
construction of a two story, 46,000 square
feet manufacturing facility on Ark Road across
from Rich May Landscaping. The facility
will be the home of Purest Colloids. The
facility will make metal and mineral enriched
water for specialty manufacturing processes and health
foods.
Homeland
Security Grant: Lumberton has been awarded a
federal homeland security grant for $95,000 to
help complete the expansion the Lumberton
Emergency Squad building. The grant is expected to cover
the cost of fire suppression equipment.
Super
Wal-Mart: Wal-Mart will be back in
front of the Land Development Board again on
November 29th at 7:00 PM to continue the
