• Council Debates Scope of New Downtown Tax Abatement — Should Housing Above Storefronts Qualify? (tapinto.net) — Verona's Township Council is still fine-tuning a proposed five-year tax abatement for Bloomfield Avenue, debating whether mixed-use buildings with apartments above storefronts should qualify. Members are leaning toward allowing abatements for existing mixed-use improvements but not for adding new residential units, while also exploring safeguards to protect the current tax base during major redevelopments.
