Madison applies for Drew Forest purchase grant funding, calls on university to cooperate
By Graciella Dressler | Madison Eagle
“The borough has submitted its application to the Morris County Open Space Fund for $10 million in grant funding to contribute to a purchase of the Drew Forest from Drew University.
Mayor Robert Conley and Madison community members hoping to preserve the forest from development continued to implore the university to come forward and partner in the effort at a Monday, June 12 Borough Council meeting. The university has sought to have much of the forest rezoned for multi-family housing and sold to a developer to mitigate its financial troubles.”
COMMENTARY: Migrating birds return, but are their northern homes safe?
March is here and the “snowbirds” are returning to New Jersey. These are the people who migrate south to avoid the winters at home (disclosure: I’m one of them).
