Did you know that the Hopatcong Planning Board is considering the approval of a high density senior housing development that will be located between Hopatcong Heights and Sparta-Stanhope Road?  It is the single largest development ever proposed for the Borough of Hopatcong.

Did you know that the development will have an access road onto Durban Avenue between Durban Avenue School and Hopatcong High School and another onto Sparta-Stanhope Rd?

Did you know that this will consist of 662 units of apartments, townhouses and single family dwellings?

Did you know that it will add an estimated 1,200 or more people to the residency of Hopatcong?

Did you know that this area was requested by our Mayor to be excluded from the Department of Environmental Protection Agency's New Jersey Highlands Act?

Did you know that the builder's Environmental expert testified that the builder intends to CLEAR CUT the tract? (Clear cutting means that they intend to cut down ALL trees)

Did you know that construction access has already been established?

Did you know that test wells have already been dug?

Did you know that perc tests have already been performed?

Did you know that many hundreds of trees have already been plowed down?

Did you know that there are currently 6,193 homes in Hopatcong?  If we allow the building of an additional 662 dwellings (modified down from 730) that is over a 10% increase in housing.  If 1,250 people occupy those dwellings it will increase our population by approximately 10%.  And not all citizens of Hopatcong are even aware that all of this is happening!!!!

Make a difference! Tell the councilmembers - "Not in our town"
