For the second year in a row, the Lacey Township school budget calls for no increase in the local property tax rate. But there will be fewer employees in the district for 2011-2012 as about 16 expected retirees will not be replaced. Six of the positions are teachers. Staff agreed to take a wage freeze this year, which saved about $1.5 million and generated an extra $70,000 in aid from the state. But employees will get raises next year. A big boost is the $1.2 million a year for three years the district is getting from selling its solar energy credits. Officials also anticipate a savings of about $300,000 on energy costs. The solar project came under budget, so the district applied the balance to its debt principal, reducing the amount of debt service taxpayers will pay this year by abo...

The topic of the township's land holdings, the need to update its master plan and the future of proposed developments has taken over township committee meetings.An 84 unit townhouse development, Lacey Town Village, was approved as an age-restricted community in 2005 but has yet to be constructed. Now the project applicant, Lacey Township Builders Associates, is seeking to build the project without the age restriction. The proposed project would be located in the vicinity of Railroad Avenue and Laurel BoulevardLacey Township Mayor Gary Quinn is quoted as saying, "The town has always tried to stay away from non-age-restricted. We would prefer to have age-restricted because they are good ‘ratables', most of those developments take care of their own services, like Sea Breeze. It's a gated c...
