North Brunswick Warehouse Proposal 7pm Info Session - 7/7/2026

This was a public information session held by the New Brunswick Township Council on July 7, 2026, regarding a redevelopment proposal for a warehouse facility on the former Boy Scouts property on Fidelity Drive. The developer, CJIS Property Group, has proposed a multi-use development primarily consisting of a warehouse with truck trailer parking and a possible commercial pad. The council discussed the legal framework for redevelopment, zoning restrictions, and the potential impacts on the community, including traffic, noise, and environmental concerns. A key procurement-related topic was the consideration of a pilot tax agreement that could increase township revenue compared to current property taxes, with projected additional income of approximately $20 to $23 million over 30 years. The council also addressed the possibility of banning data centers in the township, including on this site, due to infrastructure and residential proximity concerns. Residents raised questions about traffic congestion, emergency vehicle access, stormwater management, and alternative uses for the property such as medical facilities or community centers. The council emphasized that no final vote had been taken yet and that further discussions and negotiations would occur before any redevelopment agreement or zoning changes are approved.
