“The Borough Council adopted two ordinances Monday night, one seeking to preserve and the other to adapt.

The council first voted to restore the local open space tax from 1.8 cents per $100 to 2 cents per $100. The decision could benefit any number of open space, preservation and recreation projects in the future, but in the immediate term it aims to help save the Drew University Forest Preserve from the developer’s bulldozer.”
