the land is slated to become part of Perrineville Lake Park, which will encompass 550 acres surrounding the lake.
In 1995, Millstone Township attempted to condemn the farm to use it for recreational ball fields and a municipal building addition. That plan died ... the county was also interested by that time.
I don't care for eminent domain, at least as it is practiced in NJ.
Read my "Shore to Seize" post.
And I have mixed feelings about a county park in town. It will increase traffic considerably.
But, if it's built, we'll probably make use of it.
Otherwise, it's a waste of $4.5 million dollars ... or whatever the grand total turns out to be.
