Overview: The most recent Phillipsburg Town Council meeting was dominated by discussion regarding the proposed District 5 Riverside Industrial Amendment Riverfront Redevelopment Plan, encapsulated by ordinance 0202 4-14. The issue at hand was the potential adoption of the plan, which has polarized council members and highlighted a community concern: the town’s status as a food desert and the need for a full-service grocery store. Complicating the matter was an earlier vote favoring a cold storage facility on the proposed site. The debate underscored a divide within the council, with some members advocating for the economic growth potential of the industrial amendment and others raising concerns about the impact of increased truck traffic on Phillipsburg’s community and infrastructure.
