Summary
Mayor Derek Armstead told the council Linden is in active talks to acquire 3308 Roselle Street ("Nuno's property") for an affordable-housing project and expects details to be ironed out within about 20 days.
Mayor Derek Armstead told the council the city is actively pursuing an acquisition to expand affordable housing stock. "We're currently in active discussions, to acquire Nuno's property at 3308 Roselle Street, to develop for affordable housing," the mayor said, and added the administration expected to finalize details "within the next 20 days or so."
The announcement followed the mayor—s remarks on opioid-abatement funds and downtown redevelopment. The mayor framed the property acquisition as part of a continuing drive to expand housing access across Linden. The meeting record did not include purchase price, financing sources, or a formal council action on the acquisition; the mayor said discussions are ongoing and that additional information will be provided once details are finalized.
Council members did not record a formal motion or vote on the purchase during the meeting; the mayor's statement indicated next procedural steps would be to complete negotiation and return to the council when an action is required.
