The ordinance regarding possible conveyance of Municipal Parking Lot 9 and another city-owned parcel to the Housing Authority of Plainfield is written in such dense legalese that Plaintalker can glean only a couple of points. One is that the transfer hinges on HAP and the Plainfield Community Development Corp. having financing secured for the proposed apartment complex. Any sale price will depend on the prevailing market at the time of closing.
The ordinance is up for first reading at tonight's special meeting, 7 p.m. in City Hall Library.
The apartment proposal was discussed at an Oct. 17 Planning Board meeting. Click here for details.

This would be the death knell for Plainfield. What developer would develop here with low income housing in the middle of the city? I read a comment that I believe exquisitely describes those in power who feel like they are losing it- in this case Dunn and Sanders. It reads "They (those in power) haven't the ability to create, only to destroy, and that is more intoxicating than nothing at all". Perfect.
