Overview: At the recent Morris Town Council meeting, officials discussed the settlement of a protracted litigation regarding the township’s affordable housing obligations. The settlement permits the development of a 50-unit, 100% affordable housing project on county-owned land behind existing supportive housing on Catch Road near Hanover Avenue. This resolution was reached to avoid the potential requirement to develop 200 additional units, which would have increased the township’s total obligations. The county’s provision of land at no cost facilitated this agreement, and efforts to secure financing from a developer specializing in affordable housing are ongoing.
