Superior Court judge approved an amended settlement agreement between Wall Township and the nonprofit Fair Share Housing Center last month dictating where 937 affordable housing units for individuals and families will be located within the town, according to aat 32 square miles, will move ahead with satisfying its state obligation to provide a fair share of affordable housing.
The settlement is the end of a lengthy court case “and a pretty long process of planning for Wall’s third round of affordable housing obligations,” said Josh Bauers, senior staff attorney at the Fair Share Housing Center. Wall and the Fair Share Housing Center eventually entered into a settlement agreement in 2019 to end the court fight. The settlement has been amended twice since then to include new housing projects, said attorney Erik Nolan, who represented Wall in the affordable housing case.
“We have projects that have been completed already. We didn’t sit back and wait for the court to say we were doing the right thing in order to do the right thing. We were doing what we were supposed to do,” said Bertrand, the township administrator. Wall adopted a new redevelopment plan for several languishing properties in the Route 33/34 corridor, including “some undesirable motels,” Bertrand said.
