Overview: During the Lopatcong Town Council meeting on April 2, 2025, a decision was made regarding affordable housing within the township. The council approved a settlement with the New Jersey Builders Association to resolve a dispute over the number of affordable housing units required. Initially, the state’s Department of Community Affairs mandated 87 units, but the township, following its planner’s advice, argued for 71. The settlement reached was for 81 units, a compromise that sparked little debate among council members but has been a point of contention in the broader community. This decision comes amidst public concern over the financial impacts of development agreements, particularly in relation to the school funding structure affected by such settlements.
