ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!

First its the Lackawanna Station and now its historic homes.

​Now is the time to make it very clear to officials that we value Montclair’s history and assets. Let's do something about the demolitions and knock downs of our older homes and historic properties.  Your Township Council and Manager need to take immediate action. 

The “No Knock Down” law used to be in force but was removed in 2012 under this current Council’s  watch. A number of great older houses have been demolished since then. This protection needs to be reinstated.  This law provides for a review process to help control arbitrary demolition of valued historic properties.

This week’s knockdown and loss of two 19th and early 20th century historic homes on Undercliff and Lloyd Roads is a disgrace. By not ensuring that the legal protections were kept in place to prevent these and past tear-downs, they are not doing their job for this historic town.  Historic homes is one of our most important selling points when people visit and move here. It’s their job to preserve historic neighborhoods and those assets.   

Montclair is here for residents, not developers. Make this happen. Stop the destruction of our town. Send a letter or email now.
