WAREHOUSE PROJECTS PROPOSED FOR HILLSBOROUGH

S.W.A.T. (Stop Warehouses and Trucks) is a group of concerned citizens committed to stopping the construction of the warehouses. These warehouses total up one million square feet of warehouse space. All of these projects are now under consideration by the Hillsborough Planning Board.

The following table summarizes the warehouse projects now before the Planning Board.

A: 189/203 Homestead Road

Building 1 would be the second largest building in all of Hillsborough.

Building 2 includes a plan to have 80,000 pound tractor trailers drive over the gas transmission lines hundreds of times per day.

B: 279 Homestead Road

There have been nine Planning Board meetings on this proposed warehouse. The location is behind the Stryka Botanica building and therefore it does not have street frontage, which is not allowed in this zone.
This means that Redcom hasn’t met the zoning requirements and the applicant will be submitting revised plans to the Planning Board. No meeting date is scheduled at this time.

C: 303 Amwell Road - bought by Hillsborough with open space funds

E: 1170 Millstone Road - bought by Hillsborough with open space funds

These two properties were purchased by Hillsborough using open space funds provided by taxpayers. The resolution to purchase these two unchanged properties totaling 28 acres, was passed by the Township Committee on November 28th 2023 using existing open space tax funds for $9.5 million. Two years ago in November 2021, Redcom Corporation purchased these properties for just over $1.5 million.

F: Weston Road - Denied on January 9, 2025

The applicant anticipates that the facility will generate 76 truck trips per day.

When the site is cleared, they will be cutting down 977 trees with a trunk diameter between 6 and 12", and 448 trees with a trunk diameter between 13 and 24". This is a major loss of forest for the town and the region.
