[quote="news"]Viridian to propose warehouse plan within month By Maria Prato-Gaines, Staff Writer Posted: Friday, November 16, 2007 12:08 PM EST CRANBURY — A Colorado redevelopment firm expects to present a plan to redevelop 395 acres on Brickyard Road to the Planning Board sometime in the next few weeks. Viridian bought the property in Cranbury’s industrial district in January 2006 and hopes to build three warehouses on the site. The warehouses, totaling 2.8 million square feet, will run parallel to each other on the property’s east side and would be located about five miles south of the N.J. Turnpike’s Exit 8A. Viridian officials say their plans meet all township zoning and regional sewer-service requirements, would generate tax revenue and take a contaminated and dangerous site and make it productive and safer. The property had been the former site of the Unexcelled Chemical Corp., a manufacturer of military munitions including grenades, fuses, napalm and incendiary bombs. Unexcelled closed in 1954 after an explosion claimed the lives of two employees and scattered explosive debris throughout the area. Viridian officials told The Cranbury Press on Nov. 9 that those explosives are more dangerous today than they were more than 50 years ago because they have grown more volatile. However, they said their redevelopment plan would reduce the danger. ”This is not the typical contamination, these are things that could blow up and kill you,” said Tate Goss, president of Viridian. “It’s just a matter of time before there’s an accident.” ... http://www.packetonline.com/articles/2007/11/16/cranbury_press/news/doc473dcd9753989951193893.prt[/quote]
