West Orange

West Orange residents are vowing yet another round of lawsuits in an ongoing legal battle involving a controversial office park and a multimillion-dollar tax abatement. 

A proposal to build nearly 500 apartments on a 120-acre forested site in West Orange has sparked community resistance over environmental and safety concerns.

Another project could be coming to the Valley, a neighborhood located in both Orange and West Orange near the Highland Avenue train station.

Within the larger development of this historic site is a smaller enclave of just 34 spacious residences for rent and resort-style amenities.

Prism Capital Partners recently announced three retail tenants have signed leases at The Shoppes at Edison Village in West Orange.

The West Orange town council passed a resolution this week to designate an office park an “area in need of redevelopment.” The 4-1 vote stands at odds with the wave of public criticism during the meeting against the designation, which paves the way for a windfall tax abatement.

A new building with a mixture of market rate and “affordable” units could be built in the Valley neighborhood.

Last month, a man from Red Bank was found dead in a self-storage unit where he was living. His death was a casualty of the pandemic, which has created dire housing instability, pushing many to extreme measures.

For two decades, white-tailed deer have been in the crosshairs of Essex County hunters during the annual hunt. This year, though, the pandemic has halted the winter cull, buying time for animal-rights activists to push for new ways to protect this indigenous species and the forest.
