Historic Farm to Be Seized by N.J. Town to Make Room for Affordable Housing Despite Owners’ Pleas: ‘Once It’s Gone, It’s Gone Forever’
- On May 12, the Cranbury Township Committee agreed unanimously to pursue the acquisition of the Henry family’s 21-acre farm via eminent domain to develop affordable housing.
- The seizure aims to meet a statewide mandate requiring Cranbury to build 265 affordable units by 2035 under the Mount Laurel Doctrine.
- The Henry brothers have owned and maintained their 175-year-old farm since 1850, investing over $200,000 and rejecting offers up to $30 million to preserve their family legacy.
- Eminent domain specialist Timothy Duggan calls the town's plans "misguided and rushed," while Chris Henry urges the committee to consider alternatives that avoid forced seizure.
- The case highlights tensions around New Jersey’s affordable housing quotas as Cranbury races to submit its plan by June 30, with potential court proceedings if no agreement is reached.
