“We are delighted to work with our neighbors and friends on an event that gives us the opportunity to come together, enjoy the talents of generous folks in our community, and raise funds to protect our quality of life and sensitive environmental resources from inappropriate and out-of-scale development,” said Anand Dash, president of SRD.
The grassroots organization was formed under the threat of a developer’s application for two mega warehouses at 33 Demarest Road. Its mission is to join together concerned citizens to encourage and advocate for responsible development. SRD is fiscally sponsored by the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, a nonprofit protecting the New Jersey Highlands.
The warehouse developer has indicated that it is revising its plans for future submission. SRD is talking to experts about providing testimony when the application is heard by the Planning Board. A lawsuit challenging the proposal is pending in appellate court.
