CIRCULATE NJ STATEMENT REGARDING PROPOSED WAREHOUSE RESTRICTION LEGISLATION

East Brunswick, N.J. – Circulate NJ Chair David Greek issued the following statement today regarding A5241/S4048, proposed legislation that would place restrictions on warehouse development, which is up for a vote this afternoon before the Assembly Commerce, Economic Development and Agriculture Committee:

“Circulate NJ does not take positions or advocate for or against legislation. We do believe it is important, however, that governmental processes be completely transparent. If legislators are attempting to stop a single, specific warehouse project, they should say so. And they should do it through already available means, not by attempting to move the goal posts.

“The logistics industry has actively worked with individual towns and cities to achieve solutions that meet their needs. But we know that not every proposed development will perfectly mesh with a community. If we can be transparent about this issue, then so can those who oppose warehouses.”
