Voorhees Township Advances Affordable Housing Plan and Pursues Park Improvement Grants
- Meeting Overview:
The Voorhees Town Council held a meeting on February 23, 2026, where it approved a first reading of an ordinance aimed at implementing the township’s fourth-round housing plan to address affordable housing obligations. Additionally, the council resolved to apply for Green Acres grants to fund improvements to Kirkwood and Gian Julio Fields.
The ordinance is part of a mediation agreement with the Fair Share Housing Center. No public discussion ensued during the meeting, and the ordinance was approved without opposition.
In a move to enhance local recreational facilities, the council authorized the submission of grant applications for improvements to Kirkwood Field and Gian Julio Field. These applications are part of a bid to secure funding through the Green Acres program. The council had previously advertised the opportunity for public input on these grants, though no public comments were received during the meeting.
Other actions taken during the meeting included the second reading and approval of ordinances related to the economic development committee and the filing of tort claims against the township. The council also appointed Dave Iluchcci as a part-time plumbing inspector and accepted the resignation of David Farms from the construction department. Additionally, a daily rate for emergency response of the construction official aid was approved.
