Sayreville’s Waterfront Development Project Advances with Bass Pro Shop and Secondary Water Source
- Meeting Overview:
The most recent Sayreville Borough Council meeting saw advancements in the ongoing Waterfront Development Project, including the issuance of a foundation permit for the Bass Pro Shop and the planning of a secondary water source for Riverton.
The meeting, held on November 16th, 2023, was marked by updates on the Waterfront Development Project by Councilwoman Mary Novak and Councilwoman Donna Roberts. The redeveloper of the project is reportedly seeking bids for the core and shell of the Bass Pro Shop building, with procurement of significant building equipment, such as HVAC units, electrical transformers, and generators, already underway.
In addition to the Bass Pro Shop updates, the redeveloper has also completed necessary improvements to the Epic Church, which were required for the widening of the Riverton entrance by Chevalier Boulevard. These improvements included reconfiguring the parking lot and expanding the northwest and southwest corners.
Furthermore, progress has been made concerning the electrical substation and sanitary sewer pump station, with work also beginning on a secondary water source from the Baren Street water tank to Riverton. A temporary construction easement for the waterline project was discussed and approved during the meeting, with the line planned to run from RAR Street to Oak Street, cutting through Cross Avenue. The easement is necessary to begin the construction process as soon as possible.
In other matters, the Economic Development Agency has finalized regulations for the new Aspire program. The agency is now set to review the Waterfront Development Project’s application for an Aspire Grant, which, if approved, will significantly propel the project forward.
The meeting also included the approval of a $250 per month increase in compensation for the services provided by STK Services’ Wayne Kronowski, who has been assisting the agency for nearly two decades without any prior increase.
