the single family dwellings to the denser townhouse developments,” notes Board Member Robin Taber, adding, “I don’t think we have any outstanding [housing] needs that we haven’t met to be compliant with our long term Comprehensive Plan.” This balanced approach ensures housing availability across price points without compromising the township’s residential appeal. Industrial growth follows an equally deliberate strategy, with manufacturing, warehousing, and indoor recreation facilities driving expansion. “The types of businesses we’re seeing are indoor baseball, indoor soccer, indoor cricket,” explains Seckinger, noting emerging trends like indoor pickleball facilities in neighboring municipalities. The township carefully evaluates each potential business through proactive engagement. “We meet with them, find out what type of business they are, how we can fit them into our zoning ordinance,” Seckinger says, ensuring compatibility with infrastructure and community standards.“We’ll look at their truck traffic or their vehicle count, what they’re looking for to ensure that our roads can handle whatever it is that they’re proposing.” 6 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 07
