By Bob Vosseller and Chris Lundy MANCHESTER – Property off Cherry Street and Lacey Road that was eyed for development as a future apartment complex will instead be preserved. Mayor Robert Arace told The Manchester Times that the property is 35.5 acres. “We were able to work with the county. The apartment project has been stopped,” he said. It would have been 96 units. There will be some development on that property, but it will be much less intense than multi-family housing. U.S. Homes will instead be using a small portion of that land to build four homes which will be donated to veterans, he said. “This heartwarming initiative aims to give back to the brave men
and women who have selflessly served the nation. Manchester has the largest population of veterans in the state, so this initiative is a great accomplishment for the four veterans who will reside there,” he added. The mayor noted the entire plan was the end result of work by the Ocean County Natural Land Trust Fund, U.S. Homes, and his commitment to uphold promises made during his campaign “to protect the rural and suburban character of our community.” There is also a vernal pond that was identified on the property, which provides a unique habitat of upland and wooded wetlands to shelter several important state threatened species, county officials said.
