That mound of dirt near Lot B on Main Street could be on its way out in the coming weeks. During this month’s Redevelopment Agency meeting, City Administrator and Redevelopment Director Peter Pelissier was hopeful that the dirt and sales trailer at The Westbury site on Main Street could start being moved within the month.
Dornoch, which had planned to construct a multideck parking facility with condos, will lease the site to the Parking Authority for surface parking until a deck is constructed. Pelissier said the Parking Authority will work with the city and Union County to create the surface lot, first leveling out the site and laying gravel until it’s resurfaced in the spring. He expects another 100 spaces could be added.
Worthwhile piece in New Jersey Monthly about hyperlocal Web sites and the evolution of local, online news. Good thing we got in on the ground floor in Rahway — second anniversary (what!?!) just about a week away.

Congrats Mark. Love the website.Why the surface lot? The parking deck isn't even filled. I'd rather they wait for something more viable than put the lot there because you know it's gonna stay like that for 20 years.
Click on the "lease the site" link, that'll get you to the previous post about the deal b/w Dornoch and RPA to lease the lot. Any deck isn't getting built for a few years, so the idea is to provide some more parking at least while nothing's going on there. Leasing the space to RPA will get Dornoch some cash flow after buying up all those properties and paying property taxes on the still vacant spaces.
