The Resolution of the Municipal Council authorizing and directing the Planning Board to undertake this preliminary investigation and make recommendations to the Municipal Council (Resolution No. 2024-349), the Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area investigation report, and a map depicting the boundaries of the proposed Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area, along with a statement setting forth the basis for the investigation, are on file with the Borough Clerk and the Planning Board Clerk at the Municipal Building, 2480 Plainfield Avenue, South Plainfield, New Jersey, and all are available for inspection during regular business hours.   PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, after review by the Planning Board at the hearing described herein, a finding by the Municipal Council that the Study Area, or a portion thereof, constitutes a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area, shall operate as a finding of public purpose, but shall not authorize the Borough or Municipal Council to exercise the power of eminent domain to acquire property in the Study Area.   PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, if the Municipal Council designates all, or a portion, of the Study Area as a Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area, owners of the designated property will receive a notice from the Borough notifying them of the designation and will have forty-five (45) days from the receipt of such notice to challenge the redevelopment designation by filing the appropriate action in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division.   BOROUGH OF SOUTH PLAINFIELD PLANNING BOARD 10/30, 11/6/2025 ($85.56)
