How to comment officially
For this project: Building permits are normally reviewed by the township construction office and are not decided at a public hearing. Residents can ask the Cedar Grove Township planning or zoning office whether any board review applies.
This is a construction permit, which comes after the town's land use approvals, so the public hearing stage is usually over.
- New projects in Cedar Grove Township go before its planning board or zoning board of adjustment at public hearings, where anyone can speak and the testimony goes on the record. Watch the agendas for the next ones.
