STOP THE WAREHOUSE!
HELP US PROTECT PHILLIPSBURG FROM THIS URGENT THREAT
We urgently need your support.
Please consider contributing whatever you can. It will make a difference - right here where you live. 100% of every contribution will go directly towards the legal expenses to keep this warehouse out of downtown Phillipsburg.
The Warehouse proposed for Howard Street poses an immediate and long-lasting threat to the quality of life for the residents of Phillipsburg. It would be an enormous structure immediately adjacent to long established residential neighborhoods. DOT estimates over 100 additional tractor trailers entering and leaving through our narrow and crowded downtown streets every day. The added noise, pollution and congestion will be significant. The impact on our downtown business district could be devastating. Phillipsburg’s Town Council has already approved this project, so we are rapidly running out of time.
Phillipsburg Riverview Organization (PRO) advocates for the residents of Phillipsburg. We believe in a strong and healthy community with positive development, protection of our natural resources, strong economic growth, opportunities, and greater quality of life. This warehouse does none of those things. In fact, it will have the exact opposite effect on our community. The NJDEP already classifies downtown Phillipsburg as “ENVIRONMENTALLY OVERBURDENED”. Yet the Phillipsburg Town Council has approved a zoning change that will allow this enormous warehouse - only adding to our burden. Moreover, they are going to squander our greatest asset - the banks of the Delaware River - blocking it from view with a gigantic five story warehouse!
Please act now. We are rapidly running out of time.
