Shareholder Gary S. Forshner, member of the Real Estate, Zoning & Land Use Group, was quoted in Howell Residents Protest Apartment Complex, which was published in the Asbury Park Press on October 19, 2015.
The article explains the recent controversy that has occurred with a proposed affordable housing complex in Howell, NJ. Currently, there is a petition with over 500 signatures being circulated in the area, and residents are concerned with project’s transparency and location. In spite of this, the project is expected to fulfill approximately 20 percent of the mandated affordable housing units.
“(Affordable housing) isn’t going to happen overnight,” Mr. Forshner was quoted as saying. “What the Supreme Court has done is develop a process where municipalities and developers know their obligations and opportunities now.” Additionally, he explained that the Howell judges will decide by December 8th whether or not the proposal is viable—if not, the towns will be open to “builders’ remedy” lawsuits. If any of these developer’s suits were to win, this means they could build in the town with very little oversight.
