Overview: The recent Clark Town Council meeting focused on several issues, with the contentious topic of affordable housing requirements taking center stage. The Mayor expressed fervent opposition to a state-mandated plan that could lead to the construction of approximately 2,200 apartments for affordable housing in the area. He argued that such developments are unnecessary for Clark and Union County, emphasizing the challenges inherent in accommodating this influx. The council was urged to work with planners and engineers to comply with the mandate by June 30, 2025, in order to avoid losing protections similar to situations faced by other communities, such as Millburn. The Mayor also voiced a preference for more suitable affordable housing in urban areas where infrastructure better supports mass transit and job access.
