This recommendation will be sent to the Township Council of the Township of Old Bridge for further action as per the requirements of the Local Redevelopment and Housing Law. The Township Council can approve, reject, or amend the Planning Board's recommendation and may adopt a resolution determining that the Study Area, or any part thereof, is in need of redevelopment.   If the Township Council adopts a resolution that the Study Area is in need of redevelopment, this designation will include all of the properties in the Study Area unless the Council alters or revises the list of properties in the Study Area. The designation that the properties in the Study Area are in need of redevelopment is for non-condemnation, meaning that the Township will not have the authority to acquire property in the area so designated by eminent domain (a.k.a. condemnation).   If the Township Council adopts a resolution designating the Study Area as being in need of redevelopment, any property owner wishing to challenge the designation must file a complaint in the Superior Court within 45 days of the adoption of that resolution.   Any interested person may appear at said hearing and participate therein in accordance with the rules of the Planning Board.
