By Bill Connell.
I went up to the Adirondack Mountains last week to get a better view on my life. As I came down from the mountain like Moses, I was approaching exit 10 and saw New Brunswick on the horizon. I could not help but notice how the skyline has changed. I wondered if in 20 years, that’s what Easton Avenue will look like?
People get bent out of shape over the blinky shiney things like a temple being put up in beautiful farmland, but have no clue how a subtle ordinance change or zoning change can impact growth. What New Brunswick and Hamilton Street both have in common is, it didn’t just happen, an ordinance or zoning change allowed it to happen. Allowing a developer to have four floors instead of three changes the economics of putting up building.
