Re: Aeromarine Redevelopment Plan

 At the 2/20/07 KBC meeting a Resolution # 104-07 was introduced and approved to
"authorize the preparation of a request for qualifications (RFQ) pertaining to
the redevelopment of the Aeromarine Redevelopment Area in accordance with the Aeromarine Redevelopment Plan". This RFQ will be used to identify potential
development companies qualified to partner with the Borough to obtain this land
and build a maximum of 310 residential units as defined in the Aeromarine
Redevelopment Plan adopted in September of 2005. If the present owner is not
qualified/selected and he refuses to sell his property, the Aeromarine
Redevelopment designation allows seizure of this site using eminent domain. 

All comments and corrections are appreciated.
