Is there any way to keep the tank part of the tower? You know...the bit that says HISTORIC CRANBURY and put that somewhere?
It does look kinda cool. |

| Elmo thinks we should move the water tower to the top of the new Hyatt Place hotel for all the world to see. |

| Quote: | | Elmo funny. The library board would still need to do an expensive study first to see if this (once in a lifetime opportunity) makes sense. Its simply not obvious to them that you can't convert the water tower into a usable library, even into the tallest library in the world. (Wow what an opportunity to fill it full of dusty books, and hire new staff, and have a really huge space with our current very little traffic/usage cept for the students.) Wonder if the boy scouts and Sr.Citizens could climb to the meeting rooms at the top? Maybe they can persuade another special interest group to join them and start complaining about lack of meeting rooms in the current. I'm just worried about how much water pressure would be coming out of the drinking faucets if we did this water tower conversion. |
Dear Guest,
I can guess by your satirical comments that you are not a library fan. Our public library has so many new books, playways, and other cool things. It is a great place to visit.... Water tower and public library are two different things. |

Elmo very funny. Maybe we can rename the town "Hyatt Place" so we can still have the name of the town advertised above the tree-line.
Welcome to historic Hyatt Place, NJ- home of unbridled commercial development and the highest share of COAH housing per capita in the world! |

If the skyline is such a big issue, can we get rid of the cell towers that stick up into the sky? The owners of the property where the cell towers stick high into the skyline are making a nice profit from these eyesores. Then some complain that a new building will have a negative impact.
All this complaining about "progress". I do not understand why some people get so scared of any new business opening or building in Cranbury. Won't these new businesses help with taxes? Let's move forward ! |

Don't worry about COAH. Elmo thinks maybe Hyatt Place will set aside 20% of their suites for low and moderate income guests. |

| Let's allow an apartment building for low income to go up right next to the hotel. Satisfies COAH and will add to the skyline void left by the water tower. |

Considering that NJ taxpayers are already subsidizing housing, education, healthcare and car insurance, why not throw in maid service, too? |
