Challenge to Harrison Redevelopment Ends

 

September 13, 2008 (Harrison, NJ).  A reliable source has informed KOTW that Anthony De Rose, Manny Amaral, and Steven Adler have settled their litigation against the Harrison Redevelopment Agency and Harrison Commons Inc and Harrison Commons LLC.  The settlements provide for substantial increases in the amount of money being paid for the properties located adjacent to the Harrison Path Station.  The Harrison Redevelopment Agency and Harrison Commons had come under increased pressure to move the redevelopment project forward to meet the town's commitment to the Red Bulls to provide a parking garage for its fans.  In addition, there were several recent decisions including a decision dealing with redevelopment in Long Branch which aided landowners in their battle to keep their properties.  The settlement assures that the construction of the parking garage and additional housing will be built alongside the Harrison Path station.  KOTW will publish the exact terms of the settlements as soon as they are made public.
