Dam Update:
In accordance with NJ Dam Safety Standards, the HCL dam must be rehabilitated. We expect the work on the dam to begin in the next one or two years. We have a state loan for a portion of this expense that will be paid back over approximately 20 years by the community. The best option for funding the balance of the cost is being investigated and may include another state loan, a private loan or other fund raising. At a recent presentation to the community, we provided an estimated annual cost for the work and it was roughly $340/year for each homeowner on average. It will be somewhat proportionate to the property taxes, so higher taxed homes within the community could be more, lower taxed homes could be less. Things could change as the project develops further but our goal is to make this important work not unreasonably burdensome to the homeowners. We will keep the community updated as the project progresses.
