Old Bridge affordable housing project going before planners
OLD BRIDGE – Morris Habitat for Humanity, a major builder and leading advocate for affordable housing in New Jersey, wants to build more affordable units in the township.
Morris Habitat is seeking preliminary and final major site plan and subdivision approval to construct a 12-unit affordable residential townhome development in six duplex buildings with associated site improvements at 200 Laurence Parkway in the Laurence Harbor section.
The .76-acre property, which has been designated by the township as an area in need of redevelopment, is located in a residential zone where townhomes are permitted.
The property is owned by the township and Morris Habitat is the conditionally designated redeveloper of the property.
The property formerly was the site of the Laurence Harbor Senior Citizen and Social Services Center which was demolished several years ago.

The townhome units will be restricted for sale to owners with low- and moderate-income levels, and the project is included as part of the township's affordable housing court settlement.
The applicant is seeking variances for landscape ratio and parking.
A public hearing on the application is scheduled to be held at the 7:30 p.m. Oct. 27 planning board meeting.
