📰 News we're reading
• Busky Lane Site Back to Square One (TAPinto) — A stalled redevelopment of the Busky Lane property behind Raritan Mall means the borough must restart the formal process before any 30-unit, mixed-income housing project can move forward. Officials say the land’s flood risks, contamination concerns, and tight size all complicate its role in Raritan’s affordable housing plan, leaving neighbors and planners waiting on a fresh council decision.
