December 22, 2017:
In a surprise reversal, the Homeowners Association indicated last night that it may finally take the side of OG residents and ask the Township to nullify the Re-development Plan at the North End.
At the Neptune Township Committee meeting, OGHOA spokesman/trustee Kennedy Buckley demanded that the Township Attorney answer his question which was, “Can the Committee withdraw the North End redevelopment designation now?”
Gene Anthony, the Neptune attorney, said, “Yes.”
This surprise revelation indicates that the HOA might be amenable to accepting Blogfinger’s challenge regarding their history of siding with the Township on this issue.
This quote is from the Blogfinger post on December 19, 2017: “The OGHOA should immediately cancel its support for the NERP and get behind the citizens in totally opposing such projects. If the Township refuses to take us down a sensible road, then we will know where their loyalties lie, and the same applies to the Groaners.”
In a prior survey of public opinion on Blogfinger, January , 2016, we asked the question: “Is it time for the Township Committee to scuttle the illegal North End Redevelopment Plan?”
250 votes came in, and 80% said “YES.”
So congratulations to the Home Groaners for finally standing shoulder to shoulder with the residents of the Grove who want the North End zoning to revert back to single family homes only.
Editor’s note. Blogfinger. 3/11/23. Unfortunately, the Groaners never came through; not even to now. Our article was just a dream:
