Neighbors Discuss Why They Oppose Bloomfield Ave. Development

Verona residents speak about why they attended a Verona Zoning Board meeting to oppose a mixed retail-residential property.

Neighbors Mary Purcell and Terry Moore, both of Westview Road in Verona, discuss a proposed Bloomfield Avenue development with one floor of retail space and two floors of apartments.

The Verona Zoning Board of Adjustment has been holding hearings with developer DMH2 LLC since June of 2012.

“This project will take years and my home is only 24 inches from their property,” Purcell told the board. “There will be truckloads right outside my window dumping dirt and loose rocks with dirt strewn about my house.”
