A Resolution finding that the properties are or are not in need of redevelopment will be forwarded to the Governing Body for its consideration.

This Public Notice contains the following specific information with respect to N.J.S.A. 40A:12-6 and a February 2008 New Jersey Superior Court Appellate Division decision (Harrison Redevelopment Agency vs. Anthony J. De Rosa) advising that the Planning Board or the Governing Body notify the public and affected owners of the following facts: (1) that the redevelopment study may include a finding by the Planning Board that the properties are an Area in Need of Redevelopment and if officially designated as such by the Governing Body, is a finding of public purpose; (2) that the redevelopment study may include a recommendation by the Planning Board that shall authorize the municipality to use all those powers provided by the Legislature for use in a redevelopment area other than the use of eminent domain ("Non-Condemnation Redevelopment Area"); and, (3) that the affected property owners shall have 45 days from the date of the receipt of the Designation Notice to challenge the redevelopment designation if so desired and the failure to do so shall preclude an owner from later raising a challenge to such designation.
