WBNC News has learned about 300 new houses going in to Chesterfield Township from Saddle Way to Old York Road.

Though you may be for or against the idea of hundreds of new houses and strip mall, the idea shouldn't come a shock because when all the houses in the development were approved, these 300 houses and strip mall were a part of that plan.  Due to the increasing number of children, the school was built.  Now the next part of that plan are being built this coming Spring of 2013.

As far as the strip mall is concerned, are you happy there will be more ratables in the township?  Would you use it?  If yes, what kinds of stores would you like to see go in?  Let us know in the comments section below.

More information as we get it.

No I like that our town is quiet , I don't want to see it get over built, the way Hamilton and robbinsville have.

This development was part of the TDR Smart Growth plan and it's within the receiving area. This was set up to ensure area didn't get overbuilt like Hamilton.

This is great news! The town is growing and needs to allow commercial development. Time to move into the 21st century. More homes and more stores means higher property values in a town like Chesterfield

This is the stupidest idea ever if your that lazy that you need a strip mall so close then you can move to one of the many other overly built up areas we have in this state, everything you could possibly need is within a few miles. This is one of the last few nice areas in NJ and sorry but this will not build up property value because of a strip mall and more houses. Prices have dropped in Chesterfield because they were all over priced when they were built now that development is loaded with short sales and foreclosures which will keep values down.

In case you didn't notice, the housing market collapse affected the entire country. We had the worst financial crisis in over 70 years which led to millions out of work or earning considerably less. Less income and a desire to pay down debt and not get into more debt equals reduced demand for all goods and services, including housing. Google "balance sheet recession".

As far as the The Old York Village Plan, which has been in development since 1998, it included a mixed-use village center with retail, office and convenience uses to serve local market needs and preserved stream corridors with walking paths which will connect the respective neighborhoods and extend north to Crosswicks Village. What's more lazy, getting in a car and driving 10 minutes to Shop-Rite or Acme to pick up a gallon of milk or walking to the village center to get it?

This will all be within the 560 acre "receiving area". No sprawl. And the developers that purchased credits to build in this receiving area, bought those credits from land owners outside the receiving area. In exchange, the land owners cannot develop on their own land, so this farmland is now preserved. Sounds like a win win for both those that bought in the village and those outside the village that want to see the town stay "nice" or "quiet".

I think the strip mall, if done right, would be nice for the community. Personally I would like to see a CVS, a WAWA, good place to go for Tomato Pie (not pizza), and tasty, reasonably priced BYOB Italian restaurant.
