Well well well. For two years the EVA has been kicking and screaming about warehouses in South Brunswick's eastern side. Today an email pops up into my inbox suggesting Dayton citizens start to unite in order to stop warehouses coming into OUR side of town. Well there's a fine how do you do for you. People just sat by and watched it happen when EVA was fighting. Hardly anyone from other sections even moved when told about the history of the farm. It takes a warehouse in YOUR backyard to ignite some passion. I am proud to have been in this fight when it was raging in the eastern village and I will be involved when it rages in my town of Dayton, heck pretty soon we will have warehouses coming into all 5 of our villages and then everyone will want to join the fight. This must be the true meaning of not in my backyard!
Here is a sample (Yea Baby..Yea!)
"Some of our members helped to create Friends of Southern Middlesex County in order to fight the construction of warehouses near residential areas. Below is information that they are sending about the proposed construction. If you live near Friendship Road, Wetherill, Debra Drive, and Hay press, please read as this immediately impacts you. "
Here is more! Careful James the excitement is running over!
Warehouse Sprawl Effects Us All
"More than 75 residents from the Dayton area of South Brunswick have joined together to form the “Friends of Southern Middlesex County.” This group was formed in response to the last minute notification that the Matrix Development Corporation had submitted a proposal to build a 744,000 sq. ft warehouse on the corner of Route 130 and Friendship Road, as well as three additional warehouse complexes further down Friendship Road. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that Matrix planned to build additional complexes south of Friendship Road, a Fed Ex Distribution Center on Stults Road, along with additional warehouses in that vicinity.
The Friends of Southern Middlesex County oppose the “building out of South Brunswick with warehouses” because of the negative impact it will have on quality of life in their immediate neighborhood, as well as the significant negative impact it will have on all of the citizens in South Brunswick and the surrounding areas."
"This is like Deja Vu, all over again!"

Too late for us, of course. I am a bit bitter about this, but...
Nevertheless, I have joined the fight on behalf of the residents of the Four Seasons development who will be seriously impacted by this particular warehouse. Don and Dawn K. (Choir director and wife) have a house backing onto the woods beyond which will sit the new Matrix monster. Matrix has done nothing to shield the retirement community from its lights, etc. This is very irresponsible planning.
I will speak up at the Planning Board about this. I do not know where the board is going with this one, but if they approve, it is proof to me the residents of South Brunswick take a back seat to developers once again.
nothing new there then - over here, it's called NIMBY ism - not in my back yard.
you know what they say - united we stand, etc
only a bit bitter jean? ....
