North Brunswick Transit Village in the Works

Attended a meeting Wednesday evening surrounding the planned development of the old Johnson and Johnson site off of Rt. 1 across from Aaron Rd. Check out the details at http://ourtowncenter.info/. In short, the plan is to create a community around a train station on this site. Personally, I think it's a great idea for the town as a whole. With the rise of gas prices and congestion in NJ, you'll have an entire community within walking distance to a train station (and probably buses too). They are also planning to preserve a lot of existing open land around the community as well. Finally, it shouldn't be a burden on the school system, because you'll mostly have young professionals in the area, rather than families with several children, who would probably prefer a single family home. It means more tax dollars from homes that don't require public education, which is definitely a win in the area of property taxes!
