The township has already provided for more than enough low- and moderate-income housing to meet its Mt. Laurel obligations through 2025, a township official said in the wake of an affordable housing agreement approval.
An agreement between the township and the Fair Share Housing Center, approved at the Township Council’s Oct. 10 meeting, sets Franklin’s “fair share” of affordable housing through the next eight years at 2,076 units, and inoculates Franklin from so-called “builder’s remedy” lawsuits.
