Protect Nutley: Say No to the Mega-Warehouse on Kingsland Street on July 1st and 2nd at 7PM at the Nutley Municipal Building

A mega-warehouse is being proposed on Kingsland Street, in the heart of a residential neighborhood surrounded by family homes. This very land was the subject of a class-action lawsuit involving over 400 homeowners, after the former Hoffmann-La Roche site was found to have contaminated local soil and groundwater. A $17.5 million settlement was awarded for the damage done, and yet now, development continues.

The proposal includes:

• 40 loading docks with the capacity for at least 40 eighteen-wheelers entering and exiting daily
• 24 truck parking spaces
• 133 vehicle spaces

Kingsland Street is already a high-traffic, accident-prone road, located just off a jughandle, a known congestion point. Adding industrial truck traffic will only worsen it, putting families, children, and school commuters at risk.

This warehouse threatens to turn Nutley from a quiet family town into a noisy industrial corridor. It risks plummeting property values, increasing air and noise pollution, and disturbing land formerly tied to toxic exposure.

By signing this petition, you’re urging our Nutley Planning Board to reject this plan. This is about health. Safety. And protecting what makes Nutley feel like home.

Let’s keep Nutley a place for families, not freight.
