Hamilton Street Business District Plan Stirs Controversy, Stern Words From Councilman

Gianotto1
Hamilton Street businessman Michael Gianotto asked the Township Council on Jan. 28 to delay introducing an ordinance that would designate the council as the new management corporation to direct the rejuvenation of the Hamilton Street business district.

A proposed ordinance that would give to the Township Council  all meaningful power over the renovation of the Hamilton Street business district – and relegate business owners to an advisory board – is being opposed by a group of those business owners.

The ordinance was introduced at the Jan. 28 council meeting, but not before Councilman Carl R. A. Wright (D-Ward 4) angrily “called out” his fellow council members for delaying the vote and doing nothing to help the district’s revitalization for a decade.
