OCEAN TOWNSHIP NEW JERSEY IS ABOUT TO APPROVE A HIGH DENSITY COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT, WHICH WILL SLAUGHTER 32 ACRES OF HISTORIC AMERICAN INDIAN FARMLAND. THE TOWN RESIDENTS WOULD LIKE THE TOWNSHIP TO UTILIZE OUR OPEN SPACE TAX MONEY TO BUY IT. WE NEED FUNDING FOR LEGAL REPRESENTATION, TO SAVE THE LAND, THE TREES, THE WILDLIFE THAT WILL BE DISPLACED. WE NEED TO MOVE QUICKLY. THE TOWNSHIP IS READY TO PUSH THIS THROUGH. THE DEVELOPERS NEEDED LAND USE ZONING CHANGES TO ACCOMMIDATE A TOXIC GAS STATION IN WETLANDS TERRITORY. WE THE PEOPLE, NEED TO RAISE FUNDING TO RETAIN LEGAL REPRESENTATION, SO THE TAX PAYING RESIDENTS, WHO VOTED 2 TO 1 FOR AN OPEN SPACE TAX, CAN HAVE THEIR VOICES HEARD. OUR COMMUNITY HAS LESS THAN 8% MATURE TREE CANOPY LEFT. 75% OF THE TOWNSHIP HAS BEEN DEVELOPED WHICH NOW CLASSIFIES OCEAN TOWNSHIP AS AN URBAN COMMUNITY. FOR GENERATIONS TO COME, WE NEED TO SAVE WHAT LITTLE FOREST WE HAVE IN NEW JERSEY AND THE HISTORIC HERITAGE OF THE AMERICAN INDIAN FARMLAND. OUR HEALTH IS AT GREAT RISK, AS WELL AS THE WATER THAT FLOWS INTO THE ATLANTIC OCEAN DUE TO 32 ACRES OF OXYGEN PRODUCING / CARBON FILTERING TREES BEING CLEAR CUT FOR AN IMPERVIOUS GROUND COVER PARKING LOT, TO SERVICE A MEGA SIZE GAS STATION, FAST FOOD RESTAURANTS, EXTENDED STAY HOTEL & 68 TOWNHOUSES THAT WILL BE BUILT IN WETLANDS TERRITORY, WHICH WILL LEAD TO FLOODING, TOXIC RUNOFF INTO POPLAR BROOK WITH EMPTIES INTO THE ATLANTIC. WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL FOR ANY LEVEL OF SUPPORT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY OF CONCERNED CITIZENS AFFORD OUR OWN LEGAL REPRESENTATION, TO HELP SAVE 32 ACRES OF MATURE WOODLAND, THAT IS GREATLY NEEDED FOR THE BALANCE OF OUR ECO SYSTEM IN OCEAN TOWNSHIP NEW JERSEY. please visit save32acres historic farmland gofundme.com
