Proposed zoning map change would still exclude big box home improvement warehouses
The Planning Board will begin mulling a major change to the zoning map that could affect the majority of Wall’s Route 35 corridor. The Township Committee at Wednesday’s regular meeting introduced an ordinance that proposes to allow “Home Center” uses into zones that currently exclude them.
