Resident raises concerns about activity at Bridal/Cripple Bush property; state agency investigating
Summary
A resident reported video evidence of multiple men arriving at a wooded property and asked whether it was a recovery center or halfway house; councilors said the Department of Community Affairs (DCA/PCA) has an application under review and the borough's zoning official is monitoring for local ordinance violations.
Resident Christine Clark (speaker 10) addressed the council about observed activity at the Bridal Bush property, describing a video that showed multiple men exiting a van and expressing concern about possible use as a recovery center or halfway house near residential homes. Clark told the council she had tracked activity and was concerned for families with young children in nearby homes.
Councilors said the state Department of Community Affairs (DCA) is aware and is reviewing a Class F license application; council staff said the applicant had not yet met all the licensing requirements and that the borough's zoning official is conducting periodic checks for violations. Councilors recommended residents notify police of any suspicious activity and said the borough would await the state's findings before taking further local action.
