Board accepts preliminary investigation for Stokes Cannery redevelopment area and recommends Township Committee review
Summary
The Land Development Board accepted a preliminary investigation identifying the Stokes Cannery site (431 North Main Street) as an area for non‑condemnation redevelopment and rehabilitation, and recommended the study be forwarded to the Township Committee after a brief public Q&A.
The Southampton Township Land Development Board accepted a preliminary investigation into whether the Stokes Cannery site at 431 North Main Street qualifies as a non‑condemnation redevelopment and an area in need of rehabilitation, and recommended the study be forwarded to the Township Committee.
Board members discussed the investigation during the June 6 meeting and opened the floor to members of the public, who provided brief comments and participated in a short question‑and‑answer period. After the public exchange, Mr. Murphy moved to accept the preliminary investigation and recommend it to the Township Committee; Mr. Keebler seconded. The motion carried with aye votes from the nine members present.
The board’s action does not itself enact redevelopment powers but forwards the preliminary finding for consideration by the Township Committee, which may decide whether to initiate formal redevelopment designation or further study. The board’s vote was recorded and memorialized in the meeting minutes.
