Township Council Approves Foxmoor Plaza Resolution

ROBBINSVILLE, NJ - (October 22, 2015) - Robbinsville Township Council on Thursday, October 22 2015 unanimously approved a resolution that directs the Planning Board to undertake a preliminary investigation of the Foxmoor Shopping Center to see if it fits the criteria as an "Area in Need of Redevelopment.''

Mayor Dave Fried recently met with concerned business owners in the beleaguered plaza, which is in need of a face lift, along with an anchor tenant to fill the void left by the closing for the former Marrazzo's Thriftway.

"This is the first step,'' Mayor Fried said. "We need to do everything we possibly can to help these business owners. The Township has offered the current property owner our assistance in every imaginable form, from the expediting of permits to the helping to improve the aesthetic to make the plaza more attractive. I feel we have to act.''

Council president Ron Witt said the township will continue to work to improve conditions, and pedestrian traffic, at the plaza while the Township works to find a more permanent solution to the Foxmoor problem.

"If the site investigation deems the center as an area in need of redevelopment it triggers a bunch of things that can be done on our end. It makes the redevelopment process that much more viable,'' Mr. Witt said. "We want those business owners, as well as our residents, to know we are committed to a long-term solution in Foxmoor. That said, there is only so much we can do and we do not have a magic wand. I would urge our residents to keep supporting the businesses that are there, that have stuck it out, and we will do everything we can on our end to help make that shopping center a destination once again.''
