Overdevelopment is once again threatening our rural environment and quality of life. This time, the literal foundations of our towns are at stake.

Active Acquisitions Upper Freehold LLC has applied to build two large warehouses on Block 26, Lots 1, 2, & 3 in Upper Freehold Township (UFT). The builder would pave over 23 acres of UFT farmland on scenic Old York Road! This farmland has been in use for over 200 years!

The plan may require a separate wastewater mitigation system or sewer, potentially leading to MORE WAREHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, affordable housing developments, and HIGHER TAXES from increased school district enrollments. This is how chasing ratables actually ends up INCREASING taxes!

Tell the Upper Freehold Township Committee at Committee@uftnj.com to say NO to:

• ANY new VARIANCES tied to this proposal
• MORE TRUCK TRAFFIC from over 100 truck loading docks 
• INCREASED COSTS for police, fire & first aid services resulting in HIGHER TAXES
• Required amendments for the construction of new SEWERS
• Associated HIGH DENSITY RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
• POORER AIR quality and LIGHT POLLUTION
• Higher CRIME without a local police force to promptly respond
• FLOODING due to increases in stormwater 
• DESTRUCTION of the UFT Township, Monmouth County and NJDOT approved Scenic Byway and loss of open space
• INCREASED TRAFFIC, CONGESTION, AND EMISSIONS with more than 600 additional cars on our roads
• IRREVESABLE HARM TO WILDLIFE that use this land as their only home
• Destruction of an AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR site.
• This MEGA WAREHOUSE will degrade the quality of life for residents of Upper Freehold Township, the historic village of Allentown Borough, and everyone in the region.

Your opinions matter! The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) wants your comments. 

Tell the NJDEP to deny the builder’s application for a wetland’s waiver and flood hazard permit. That will only happen if they hear from YOU.
