Calls upon Cranbury Township Committee to reconsider proposed use of eminent domain to seize historic Henry Farm; calls for State eminent domain reform.
This Senate resolution (SR 136) urges Cranbury Township to withdraw its plan to use eminent domain to seize the historic Henry Farm - a 21-acre family-owned property since 1850 - for affordable housing. It specifically asks the township to reconsider, noting the farm’s agricultural heritage and alignment with New Jersey’s goal to preserve 500,000 acres of farmland by 2050. The resolution also calls for state-level reform of eminent domain laws to prevent using farmland for housing, arguing this approach could worsen food insecurity. As a non-binding resolution, it does not change law but seeks to influence local decision-making and state policy.
