Summary

Multiple residents told the board the pending Chandler Hall sale may require state redesignation from nonprofit to for-profit and urged writing the attorney general to preserve services; board members said they will monitor and gather information.

Residents told the board they fear that a pending sale of Chandler Hall to a for-profit developer could lead to loss of services, layoffs and property redevelopment, and urged the township to press the state attorney general for conditions or to oppose redesignation. "I already wrote my letter to the attorney general, and I'm hoping everyone else can too," one resident said during public comment, asking the board and neighbors to submit similar letters.

Speakers described a two-step process they said is needed for the sale: a redesignation by the attorney general to allow conversion from nonprofit to for-profit and subsequent sale to a development LLC (public comment named CIG 99 Barclay and Silverwave as involved parties). Board members said the claims are based on public information and urged continued due diligence; the chair said the township will monitor zoning, permitting and any required state approvals.
