Trivia Question❓What is the name of the state fruit of New Jersey? Answer at the bottom of the newsletter |
A new sinkhole measuring 15 by 15 feet has emerged on Interstate 80 in Wharton, New Jersey, prompting the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) to close all lanes westbound at Exit 34B. This closure comes as crews were already working to repair previous sinkholes in the area. The eastbound lanes have been closed for over a month due to similar issues. The sinkholes are believed to be caused by old mine shafts beneath the roadway, creating voids that destabilize the surface. Governor Phil Murphy has declared a state of emergency to secure federal funding for repairs. NJDOT is actively assessing the situation and working to stabilize the affected areas. The closures have significantly impacted local businesses and commuters, with detours causing delays and disruptions. Officials are prioritizing safety and plan to meet soon to determine the next steps. Read More... |

"Debate over Proposed Cannabis Ordinance in Sparta Continues as Planning Board Raises Concerns about Alignment with Town's Master Plan" |
 |
Sparta Planning Board recently reviewed a proposed cannabis ordinance that would regulate the sale and cultivation of marijuana in the town. They found that the ordinance did not align with the town's master plan, which aims to preserve Sparta's rural character and open spaces. The ordinance would allow for cannabis retail establishments and cultivation facilities in certain zones, but the Planning Board raised concerns about potential negative impacts on the community, such as increased traffic and crime. They also noted that the ordinance did not address issues like odor control or security measures. The Board recommended that the ordinance be revised to better fit the town's long-term vision and goals outlined in the master plan. Overall, there is ongoing debate and discussion about the potential legalization of marijuana in Sparta and how it should be regulated to ensure it aligns with the town's values and priorities. |
