[quote="anon-s6p5"][quote="anon-0493"][quote="anon-s6p5"]How so? Wharehouses have been building here for years.  The warehouse district has been viable and a key part of our revenue for years. The town went through a downturn just like everyone else in 2008, but as the economy rebounded so has the building.

The unexceed property where Amazon is has been in discussion for decades. 
Without these warehouses and properties our taxes would be worse than west Windsor and other NJ towns.[/quote]

What is the unexceed property? 
I was commenting on the ugliness of the vast wasteland of monolithic warehouses springing up all around us and everything that goes with them. They are distressing, regrettable, and stand in offensive contrast to our beautiful little historic village. They are a huge part of Cranbury now, and the truck and traffic nightmare has only just begun. Viable revenue could have been achieved in many other ways if the township had made a different decision way back when.  Oh well, too bad, we can't stop it now. Taxes will always go up for residents, but when warehouses sit empty they do not have to pay tax.[/quote]

I meant unexcelled property which is where amazon is.

Warehouses pay more than mom and pop businesses. The plan over 20 years ago was to create a warehouse district and it has kept Cranbury's taxes as one of the lowest if not the lowest in the county. They pay taxes when unoccupied, but more when occupied.

It has no impact on the village.

As to liberty way how do you plan to fund it. Will you pay 500 more a year just for it? I don't want too. Which is why I believe grants are the only viable way to building it.[/quote]
