All those workers who don't speak English are now living in Lower getting all the free services they can. Guess they need something else to build. Heard a lot of the condos can't even pass inspection. Maybe that has something to do with speaking English too. Where are the contractors that hire them when all of this is going on? In Philadelphia?
Good old HUD. The downfall of the country. They have driven up taxes,with billions of dollars for free services. Rents up to $1,200 a month. No end in sight. And you, the taxpayers are paying for it.

Middle taxpayers are again getting the shaft.
When will the Committee show some compassion for the taxpayer?

I heard they cleared 15 feet of mature trees beyond what was stated in the plans. If you live adjacent to this property - get your land surveyed before they start clearing.

Before your town approves this development - get a commitment that the noise ordinance will be enforced. The contractors used by the Diocese violated the noise ordinance on a daily basis in Lower Township. Like to get shaken out of bed at 6 am on a Saturday because they have the heavy machinery going full force already (even though they're not supposed to start till 7 am). Better yet - they're even working on Thanksgiving Day. And then the police say that the workers don't speak English so they have a hard time getting them to stop.
The Diocese has no control over the contractors they hire.

affordable housing | 11 weeks 1 day ago | Comments 0
ATLANTIC CITY — Superior Court Judge William E. Nugent denied a summary judgment dismissal Feb. 27 on one point of a builder’s remedy lawsuit against the Borough of West Cape May from Sixth Street Partners, developers seeking to build 70 condo units on 5-acre parcel on Sixth Avenue.
Nugent said he would rule on three other points Monday at 9 a.m. after rereading documents, which number over 1,0000 pages, associated with the case over the weekend. He said much of the litigation involved “factual disputes” which required further hearings.
