The senior housing project is part of a broader initiative to ensure all residents can access suitable housing. “In addition to our existing independent senior living facility, Sterling Village, we’re creating three different housing products for our seniors. Small single-family homes, condominiums, and rental apartments will ensure seniors have choices that suit their needs,” Clarkin explains. “Many seniors love our active Senior Center and want to stay in Piscataway, but need to downsize,” Mayor Wahler adds.“These new housing options allow them to remain in the community near their families and the amenities they love.” ATTRACTING NEW BUSINESSES Piscataway employs various strategies to attract new businesses. Mayor Wahler highlights the Township’s favorable tax policies, including payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) agreements that provide financial predictability for businesses.These agreements help businesses secure financing by offering a clear multidecade tax timeline, which is crucial for large-scale investments. 256 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 05, ISSUE 08
