BERKELEY – An appellate court has sided with the township in its decision to not endorse Berkeley Family Apartments’ plan to use Superstorm Sandy money toward affordable housing apartments on Route 9.
Mayor Carmen Amato said the developers, Berkeley Family Apartments, applied to the New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency for financing for 100 percent affordable, multi-family units near JFK Boulevard. He said the township was opposed to this and that he wrote to the agency saying that Berkeley Council would not issue a resolution of need for this project as is required.
