Open Space - Orchard Hill, Licari, and Strahman I & II

11/7/2024 10:55 am

Be a Part of the Discussion!


We need your ideas about how the town should use the Orchard Hill, Licari, and Strahman I & II sites!
First, let us know your thoughts by filling out the survey at bit.ly/TMLivingston.

 

Then, attend the Township's in–person public information session:
   o    Thursday, November 7, 2024
   o    6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
   o    Livingston Senior/Community Center, 204 Hillside Avenue, Lower Level

The Township owns the Orchard Hill, Licari, and Strahman I sites and is in negotiations to acquire the Strahman II site.
The session will focus on evaluating open space in Livingston and possible recreational options – such as trails, community gardens, etc. – for the sites. We hope everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to voice their ideas about how best to utilize the spaces.

Please take the online survey now at bit.ly/TMLivingston and let us know what you think would be the best uses of some of Livingston’s open space.

Your participation will guide the Township in determining and implementing final options for each site that are best suited for our residents and the surrounding community.



投票提醒:明天就是大选日!
