Union Lake Development Update August 8 2009

One Issue that has come up again is another proposal to develop the 400 to 500 acres behind the Union Lake Crossing shopping Center and Union Lake. Those 85 acres could potentially become the new home of an access road required to continue the construction of a pair of hotels. The Millville Planning Board meets this coming Monday will consider rezoning 85 acres of a 400-acre plot owned by Wawa Inc. near Union Lake.
There has been charges and counter charges by the city and Matt Blake. The city representatives seem extremely angry as if they were blindsided by Mr. Blake's comments.
I am afraid were going the way of the Motorsports Park and the Trackracket where both sides are going to talk past each other. You my dear reader need to read both Dr. Kim Warker's letter printed today in the News of Cumberland County and Matt Blake's letter that was printed in the News on August 5th. Mr. Blake's letter did alarm me when I first read it and a friend got a different take from a city offical that Mr. Blake was "a liar". Well, I hope to make it to the planning board meeting and get a clearer picture of what the plan is.
