Bramnick urges residents to voice opposition to Mount Laurel housing

State Assembly Minority Leader Jon Bramnick, a Republican who represents the 21st Legislative District, told about 60 Cranford residents last week that public outcry can effect change in policy with regard to the state's Mount Laurel housing mandates. Resident opposition could stave off plans such the one that Hartz Mountain Industries has presented, which would add 905 apartment units on a 30.5-acre property at 750 Walnut Ave, he said.
