Mayor: Shade Tree chair seeks options for long‑stalled Owen property
Summary
Mayor Janet W. Tucci said Shade Tree chair Ellen Whitford expressed "long-standing frustration" over the Owen property's lack of municipal use and that she connected Whitford with a Freehold conservation contact to explore options.
Mayor Janet W. Tucci told the March 4 caucus that she had met with Shade Tree chair Ellen Whitford about the long-stalled Owen property and said Whitford "expressed long-standing frustration regarding the Owen property and the Borough's inability to utilize it." The Mayor said she provided Whitford with contact information for a conservation-unit representative in Freehold to look into potential options.
No formal proposal or council direction on the Owen property was recorded during the public session. The Mayor framed the contact with the conservation unit as an exploratory step; any further action or formal study would be announced in upcoming meetings if the council opts to pursue options for management or reuse of the parcel.
