East Brunswick to enter into finance agreement with developer of Tices Lane By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer

he Township Council introduced an ordinance authorizing the municipality to enter into a financial agreement with the redeveloper of the 110 Tices Ln. Redevelopment Project. The property is currently owned by the redeveloper, Tices Developers, LLC. The redeveloper proposes to redevelop the project area with the construction of 520 residential dwelling units consisting of apartments, townhomes, a clubhouse, maintenance facilities, 18,000 square feet of retail space, and adequate parking to accommodate the residential and retail components, according to the plans. The redeveloper and the Redevelopment Agency have agreed to enter into a redevelopment agreement with the agency dated November 2020 to set in detail each parties’ undertakings, rights and obligations in connection with the development and construction of the project, according to the council. On Nov. 9, before the council introduced and approved the ordinance, Mayor Brad Cohen said this ordinance is an attempt to use the redevelopment law to replace functionally obsolete industrial space in town and replace it with a modern
mixed-use transit-oriented development for the needs of those who are living here now. “For those that are only concerned about the monetary effect, the tax effect on this is significant. The present tax revenues that we have for this property is about $500,000 a year, which only 20% comes to the township under the current tax code,” Cohen said. “With the new PILOT [payment in lieu of taxes] agreement … it will bring upwards of [more than] $2.5 million over a 30-year period of time yearly. At 95%, which is how a PILOT works, it would net out to the town to $2.375 million or more per year going forward.” While it’s a five times increase in the amount of taxes coming to the township, Cohen said it’s a 23.75% increase in terms of what comes to the municipal government. “I think that people need to keep in mind that significant increase can be used to fund recreational programs, school programs that may be needed and in many other infrastructure programs in town that would otherwise fall to the current taxpayers and residents,” Cohen said. Redevelopment Agency Chairman and Councilman James Wendell said on Nov. 9 (Continued on page 11)

Institute where Einstein spent his career undergoes major renovations
‘F
uld Hall hasn’t been touched in a long time,” Mark A. Sullivan, architect and partner with the locally headquartered, globally active JZA+D, said in a prepared statement. “Given the evolution of scientific pursuit, the spaces within buildings like this one need retrofits to suit changing needs and to support the expansion of digital resources.” Sullivan and managing partner Joshua Zinder realigned and updated 2,000 square feet of the interior, but with a mission of providing a template for the complete interior renovation to come later, according to the statement. “Because most resources have been transferred to digital media and archived electronically, periodical rooms and library stacks are no longer the best use of space. New member offices are needed far more,” Sullivan said in the statement. At the institute, members are invited to work and study for a set term, as opposed to faculty who enjoy permanent positions and even retain their office spaces after retirement. The project team tore out the entire periodical room and punched new door openings from the hall to create space for three new member offices. Additionally, the design has replaced a mid-20th Century li-
struction teams,” Sullivan said in the statement. The design team bore in mind that this project would be a trial run for a future full renovation of Fuld Hall, so the palette can be easily replicated in the future. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the overall outcome of this project,” Janine M. Purcaro, chief operating officer at the Institute for Advanced Study, said in the statement. “Mark and the whole team at JZA+D are ideal collaborators, listening to our needs and working closely with us to deliver a promising template for the eventual full renovation of Fuld Hall.” The project could possibly include, in the future, updates to aging mechanical systems and replacement of the original, single-pane sash windows.

brary stack with four more member offices, and one new faculty office. Old architectural drawings indicate this latter area may have included Einstein’s own faculty office, before it was converted to stacks in 1984, according to the statement. JZA+D’s scope for the project also included renovating the librarian and assistant librarian offices, as well as the 160-square-foot “secure stack,” which Sullivan said houses the institute’s most important and fragile volumes, according to the statement. As an ode to the building’s history, original millwork and shelving salvaged from the periodical room has been reinstalled in the secure stack area of the librarians’ offices. The palette of durable finishes and furnishings for the updated interiors includes carpet tile for most floors, new LED lamps and fixtures, and updated drop ceiling systems to replace old sheet rock. “Some of the ceilings were actually an original plaster mix containing asbestos, creating additional challenges for the con-

Assemblywoman Nancy Pinkin wins county clerk election By VASHTI HARRIS Staff Writer
Introducing
Get Covered New Jersey. The state’s official health insurance marketplace.
EAST BRUNSWICK – Assemblywoman and East Brunswick resident Nancy Pinkin has won 223,186 votes, making her Middlesex County’s newest clerk. Republican and South Plainfield Councilman Joseph Wolak won 135,302 votes. There were a total of 373 write-in votes and 358,861 total votes, according to the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office, which certified the election results on Nov. 20. “I have served at the local level for nine years [and] I’ve been in the assembly for seven so I believe I have the track record for getting the job I have been assigned to do done. I think that voting is a very key part of our democracy, and there have been, before the election, a lot of issues and concerns about voting security so it’s something that I’ve always been passionate about and I’m looking forward to working on,” Pinkin said.
Wolack said Republicans have a difficult time gaining traction in the county. “The election results were essentially as I had expected. It seems most people vote party lines and judging by the vote count, this year was another example. The people have voted and that’s the result, but it’s very difficult for the minority party to give a good challenge in Middlesex County,” Wolak said. “I believe its been over a decade or two since a Republican has won a seat in the county. I only wish people would stop to think how much better their lives have been since the last election and if their answer is ‘not much better’ than I would think it would be time for a challenger with new fresh ideas. How can our society have a paradigm shift if the same worn governmental philosophy is used and the same party is the majority for decades? I hope this can change in the future.”

SPOTSWOOD – Newcomer candidates Edward Lesko and Marylin Israel have won the Borough Council election in Spotswood, securing the two open seats each holding a four-year term. Lesko won 1,928 votes and Israel won
1,640 of the votes. Fellow newcomer candidate Diane Charlesworth secured 1,489 votes, while incumbent Councilman Jose Rivera garnered 1,405 votes, according to election results certified by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office on Nov. 20. There were 42 total write-in votes,

making the total number of votes 6,504, according to the clerk’s office. “It is clear our residents are ready for new faces and ideas, and I look forward to living up to those expectations. I am humbled by the overwhelming support my neighbors have put in me, making me the youngest person elected to the borough council in our history,” Lesko said. “It is encouraging to see Spotswood have such a high voter turnout this year so that everyone’s voice in town is heard. I am eager to get to work on behalf of the constituents, no matter which candidates they preferred.” Lesko is a lifelong borough resident and currently a field organizer for a congressional campaign in north New Jersey. “I am thrilled and excited … I won a seat on the council. … I am ready to get
to work and doing what I promised to my Spotswood residents. I have worked on my campaign so hard, I put my love my passion into it. It’s well deserved. I am ready to work with the other council members to make Spotswood a better community,” Israel said. Israel has been a resident for 10 years and before retiring was working for a law firm as a senior paralegal for 10 years. “Obviously, I am disappointed that I will not be able to continue the work I started on the council, but I do wish Mayor-Elect [Jacqueline] Palmer and the new council members the very best. They have my support and I am available to help in any way I can,” Rivera said. Charlesworth could not be reached by press time.

MONROE TOWNSHIP
EAST BRUNSWICK – With the ballots counted and campaign signs removed, Mayor Brad Cohen has won 17,163 votes in the mayoral election, securing his second four-year term. “I want to thank all the residents who voted to re-elect me as your mayor, along with my teammates, Councilmen Sterley Stanley and Michael Spadafino. It is truly an honor to represent East Brunswick and all the diverse members of this community. I am humbled by the faith that you have placed in us and the plurality only speaks to our unity as a township,” Cohen said in a prepared statement. Republican challenger Jesal Amin won 9,073 of the votes. There were 57 total write-in votes, making the total number of vote 26,293, according to the election results certified by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office on Nov. 20. “I would like to congratulate Mayor Brad Cohen on his re-election as our town’s mayor. While the result is not what I had hoped for, the residents of East Brunswick have spoken, and I respect their choice,” Amin said. “I will continue to speak out on issues of concern as the leader of the East Brunswick Republican Party.” For the Township Council election, Spadafino won 15,408 votes and Stanley won 14,858 of the votes, re-securing their seats, which each hold a four-year term on the council. Republican candidates Suzanne Blum won 10,721 votes and Olga Miller won 10,453 votes. There were 45 write-in votes, making the total number of vote 51,485, according to the county clerk’s office.
“Now that the election is over and the people have spoken, it is time to heal. Despite what is going on in the world around us, it is time to put party politics and division in the closet and get down to the business of the township. We will work as hard for those who have not voted for us as for those who did, and everyone will have the same opportunity to contribute to the future of East Brunswick,” Cohen said in the statement. Cohen also thanked all the poll workers, the East Brunswick and Middlesex County clerk’s offices, and all those working at the county Board of Elections for making this mail-in election run so smoothly. “This was a record turnout which ultimately is a victory for the voters and democracy,” Cohen said in the statement. “I will not mention specific names for fear of leaving someone out, but I would especially like to reach out to the many young people who helped run our campaign. We should all be proud of the activism and commitment of those that will be making up the future of our township. These folks are already participating in township committees and boards. “We should all be happy and secure knowing that there is a batter’s box of those who will be able to step in to the spotlight and lead the future East Brunswick. That future is the one which we are crafting and creating today,” he said the statement. “Thank you and God bless each of you, East Brunswick and the United States of America.” Blum and Miller could not be reached by press time.

Democratic candidates win seats Incumbents win seats on on Milltown Borough Council Milltown school board By KATHY CHANG Staff Writer
MILLTOWN – Democratic candidates have won the two, three-year terms that were available on the Borough Council in the election on Nov. 3. According to results certified by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office on Nov. 20, incumbent James Pareti received the most votes with 2,288 and newcomer Margaret O’Donnell received 2,072 votes to win the two seats. Republicans Ronald Dixon, an incumbent, received 1,936 votes; and John Collins, a former councilman, received 1,934 votes. There were seven write-in votes. O’Donnell, who will begin her first term in January, said she is “thrilled that Milltown voters have elected me and reelected my runningmate James Pareti to represent them on the Borough Council.” “We’re joining a great team led by Mayor Trina Mehr,” she said. “This is a challenging time to be sure, but we’re both
still excited about the coming year. When the borough reorganization meeting takes place in January, we’ll know our official assignments. We’ll look for ways to make tax dollars go the furthest and best impact quality of life in Milltown. We’re both ready to make a difference in our community.” During the election, Pareti said after serving as an appointed councilman, he wants to continue to serve the people of Milltown by focusing on quality of life improvements. “I know how important it is for our residents, particularly our youth, to have as many opportunities as possible to participate in community programs,” he said. “I want to work with the Department of Public Works and the Recreation Department to explore park improvements and add additional recreational programs. I also plan to work with Middlesex County through our shared services partnership to make these improvements in the most costeffective way possible.”
East Brunswick council waives outdoor structure fees for restaurants
By VASHTI HARRIS
Staff Writer
EAST BRUNSWICK – Helping ease the financial burden for many local restaurants, the Township Council approved a resolution waiving permit fees for establishments with outdoor dining structures. “The continuing pandemic has caused so many small East Brunswick businesses to suffer. The restaurant and bar industry [has] sustained some of the worst losses. The township wants to do everything it can to help sustain this vital part of our economy and our community. The waiving of the UCC [Uniform Construction Code] fees is just a start as we call upon all our residents to lend a hand at this most difficult time,” Mayor Brad Cohen said in a prepared statement. In June, the New Jersey of Codes and Standards provided guidance on the issuance of permits and the use of tents, tensioned membrane structures and canopies per the Uniform Fire Code (UFC) and Uniform Construction Code (UCC), according to the council. Due to the approaching winter weather conditions, establishments that want to maintain the use of tents past Nov. 30 are required to apply for a UCC permit from their local construction office, according to
the council. The council approved a resolution to waive the required permit fees, for a period from Dec. 1 through March 31, 2021, on Nov. 30 during the council meeting via video conference. This resolution does not apply to any fees assessed by fire districts in connection with the required fire permit application for said tent structures, according to the council. “I just wanted to add that we’re also going to be asking our fire districts to see if they can try to provide the same type of benefit and waiving any fees to these businesses that are struggling because part of the governor’s executive order that just came down this weekend includes having all of those inspections done for fire safety should there be any changes in these tents or outdoor places for people for eating,” Cohen said. “We really just want to do everything possible to help the businesses from being hit by a flurry of fees while they’re struggling,” Cohen said. Business Administrator Joseph Criscuolo said the township economic development officer has written up a press release and will notify the Chamber of Commerce, will advertise on EBTV’s Facebook page, and do a Nixle and a Civic Alert message.

MILLTOWN – Three incumbents won the three, three-year seats that were available on the Board of Education in the election on Nov. 3. According to results certified by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office on Nov. 20, JoAnne Demetrio received the most votes with 2,607, Mary O’Mara received 2,281 votes and James Lloyd received 2,099 votes. The three incumbents were challenged by newcomer Egnita Pardo, who ran as a write-in candidate. There were 403 total write-in votes. Lloyd will begin his third term in January. “I’m happy to have been re-elected by the voters of Milltown and want to remain committed to all Milltown students regardless of race, ethnicity, economic class, disability, or anything else as I carry out my duties,” he said. “As I mentioned before the election, the foremost concern is the COVID-19 pandemic, and what’s shaping up to be a difficult winter. I’ll continue to work with the faculty, staff and administration to ensure that the children of Milltown learn, and do so safely, for themselves and the larger community. It’s going to be criti-
cal to maintain communication and connection with the larger community through this process, and I will do my best to facilitate that.” O’Mara will begin her second term in January. “I’m looking forward to collaborating with my Board of Education (BOE) colleagues and using my experience as a teacher to identify the most pressing issues for our students,” she said, noting “academic rigor, social/emotional learning and integration into the classroom, and support for teachers and students during the pandemic for virtual learning.” During the election, Demetrio said she was running for another term on the board because “as an educator, my whole life has revolved around educating children.” “I think I offer an expertise and insight to the educational experience that is useful to the board,” she said. “My special interest is in curricula. I think it is important that we keep up with changes and ensure that our children are given the opportunity to be exposed to the most current information possible. I have been involved as the curriculum chair and hope to continue as a board member. Milltown has done an outstanding job educating our children and I take pride in being a part of contributing to the process.”

Ordinance (Continued from page 1)
that this financial agreement will be a tremendous tax windfall for the town. “It’s a great development coming to town. I think it’s going to add a lot of revenue. There were many months of negotiation between the developer, myself, Redevelopment Agency Director Michael Hughes, and the mayor and everybody else got involved and it took a long time to get to the point where we’re at,” Wendell said. “I think that we’re sitting on the high side from what the other towns get and I think developers understand what the township … brings to them and the long-term investment that they’re going to make.” Wendell said the developer understands what the township brings to them and the long term investment that they’re going to make. The good part of this developer is now the agency will have a partner that is going to be a long-term investor in town. “These are not merchant builders that are going to look to build something and sell it, and I think to have a 30-year long term partner in town is a great thing to have …, they know what it takes to keep these buildings going and keep these buildings successful,” Wendell said. The council approved and adopted the ordinance authorizing the financial agreement between the agency and the redeveloper for the 110 Tices Ln project on Nov. 23 during the council via video conference. In order to enhance the economic viability of and opportunity for a successful project, financial assistance is necessary in order for the project to be undertaken in its intended scope, according to the council. Councilman Kevin McEvoy asked Township Attorney Michael Baker if that means there is going to be a need for some-

one ask the township for money. “No, what that means is that this project couldn’t happen without there being some different structure for the taxes that they would pay because it said. It’s very common, particularly when you’re developing an older industrial site that had some environmental issues, you have a large facility to take down and concrete to take out,” Baker said. “When you’re also having to meet some of the significant portions of the township’s requirements under the Fair Housing Plan, it makes for a much more expensive than usual project, as in anticipation of those things. The state legislature passed statutes that allow a town to structure differently. “The way that these properties would be taxed, it’s the long term tax exemption statute that allows for a special financial arrangement between the property owner and the developer to be made, and it’s in an effort to make sure that the project is viable, that the old industrial facility can be properly developed and that it’s fair to both parties,” Baker said. For this agreement, Baker said the developer and township professionals held weekly in-person meetings through March. Now, using the Zoom platform, the professionals have continued to meet and got to the point where everyone is comfortable that this is a very good deal for the township. An application went before Cohen and the council for the approval of a long-term tax exemption in accordance with Long Term Tax Exemption Law (LTTE) for the improvements to be constructed as part of the project, according to the council. Baker said the long-term tax exemption is the statute that allows the structure of taxes for a project in a redevelopment area to be raised differently instead of having an “ad valorem” tax which is the tax on
the value of the property. There are two options, it can be a percent of the construction or a percent of the revenue, he said. In this case, Baker said it’s a 12% of revenue for the first 10 years, 12.5 for the next 10 years and 13% for the following 10 years that will produce a revenue stream of taxation, to the town of about $2.3 million a year. “Right now the town is getting about $125,000 of the revenue from the property before development. Now the town will get a beginning 95% of the revenue from the project. The folks who get less money will be principally the county, but that’s the way the statute is structured,” Baker said. “As a result of that, the town will be able to collect far more in revenue from this project, then the town will have to expand in cost of servicing the people and the project.” Any exemption from taxation as set forth in the financial agreement is granted to the redeveloper with respect to the project for the term set forth in the financial agreement; provided that in no event will the term of the agreement exceed the earlier 35 years from the date of execution of the agreement or to the extent permitted by the LTTE law, 30 years from the redeveloper’s receipt of a Certificate of Occupancy for the project, and only so long as the redeveloper remains subject to and in compliance with the agreement and LTTW law, according to the council. This ordinance will take effect in accordance with all applicable laws, according to the council. For more information, visit www.eastbrunswick.org/129/Agendas-Minutes.

COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD Raritan Valley Road Runners, one of the largest running clubs in New Jersey, is accepting applications for a new scholarship program designed to help student runners in cross country or track and field who attend high school or community college in Middlesex and Somerset counties. A one-time award of $1,000 will be made to each of two outstanding athletes enrolling in post-secondary education.

The scholarships are funded by individual donations, funds from club-sponsored races and business contributions. Eligible applicants will be graduating from high school in Middlesex or Somerset counties in 2021 or currently attending community college in these counties. They

PRAYER IS POWERFUL Oh, most beautiful flower of Mount Carmel, fruitful vine of splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh, Star of the Sea, help me and show me herein you are my Mother. Oh, Holy Mary Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and Earth! I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in this petition. There are none that can withstand your power. Oh, show me herein you are my Mother. Oh Mary conceived without sin pray for us who have recourse in thee (3Xs). Holy Mother, I place this cause in your hands (3Xs). Holy Spirit, you who solve all problems, light all roads so I can attain my goal. You who gave me the divine gift to forgive and forget all evil against me and that in all instances in my life you are with me, I want in this short prayer to thank you for all things as you confirm once again that I never want to be separated from you in eternal glory. Thank you for your mercy towards me and mine. + Say this prayer 3 consecutive days and publish prayer after petition is granted. Do not despair. Additional advice and petition.
