Legislative

By a 4-3 vote, a zoning board rejected a self-storage facility at 142 Amboy Road in Marlboro, NJ. Developer Yankee Investments LLC seeks to build three one-story self-storage floors plus a single one-story flex space building for small businesses. Some board members wanted more restrictions on the self-storage area and a better picture of who might rent in the flex-use building.  The developer will need to revise its plan if it wants to try again.
