I've lived in New Jersey for more than 40 years, but I'll never be a real New Jersey girl. I grew up in Pennsylvania where there was lots of snow, one traffic light in town, and 90 kids in my grade--from kindergarten through graduation. I didn't know anything about The Shore, or baked ziti, or Chanukah until I came to Jersey. But, I've come to love all of that and much more--especially the history. I now know about the Jersey Dutch, strawberry baskets, railroad suburbs, the bridge that saved a nation, and so much more. I've learned that to tell the local stories about regular people I need to read wills, estate files, census records, pension applications, letters, tombstones, newspapers, and anything else I can find. So, that's some of what I want to share with you!

Update

Pam Coles clarifies the actual process.  The amendment is not coming up for approval tonight, but In tonight's Work Session the Council is considering its report from its consultant and from the Planning Board and deciding whether to introduce an ordinance to re-zone the VanderPlaat property (and the Vanderbeck house) for multi-family housing.  Public comment is only at the end of the meeting. If they decide to introduce an ordinance, it must be introduced at a regular Council meeting.  It is important for the public to make their voice heard at each step of the process.
