The township will auction the site with a minimum bid of $2.75 million, Mayor John Napolitani said Monday. The auction, originally set for June 9, has been postponed pending additional information from the township’s attorney and engineer.
Following the acquisition, township officials had discussed multiple possible public uses for the property, including a new senior center, a pre-K school or the township’s municipal building.
The sale marks the latest chapter in the long-disputed Logan Road property, which drew opposition when a developer sought to establish a yeshiva there. The township prevailed in court before buying the site itself in 2018 or 2019.
No new date for the auction has been announced.
The building was Hillel yeshiva from the 1950’s to 199
So the township owns it and is now seeking to sell it? Who owns it?
