Overview: During the Cedar Grove Town Council meeting on January 13, 2025, the council addressed issues surrounding the town’s compliance with state-mandated affordable housing requirements while navigating an intricate budget discussion. The council considered a resolution concerning the fourth round of affordable housing mandated by the state, an action necessary before the January 31 deadline. This resolution involves sending calculations to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and represents the first step in seeking adjustments to potentially lower housing obligations through a vacant land adjustment. The council is engaged in ongoing litigation with 28 other towns, a coalition likely to grow as more municipalities challenge the state’s affordable housing mandates.
