We had a victory vote in September of 2023, but the fight is not over. B9 persists with a legal fight to build warehouses on their land that if they win, will negatively impact our communities.
June 27th, 2024, Angie Granados wrote this update in gofundme.org. Attorneys for the Franklin Township Planning Board, CWAG, the B9 Schoolhouse recently met with the judge overseeing the case. The parties will file legal briefs for their respective positions over the summer of 2024. CWAG is working with our attorneys to present the strongest case against the approval of the B9 warehouses.
Previous updates
On December 21, 2023, B9 Schoolhouse developer under Link Logistics filed a lawsuit against the Franklin Township Planning Board to overturn the warehouse denial.
CWAG felt in order to continue to advocate for the health and welfare of the community, we would have attorneys who represent CWAG, and therefore the common concerns in our community, file to intervene in the lawsuit.
We are pleased to inform you that the court approved our motion to intervene in this legal fight. As a result, CWAG will now be able to participate in this action and fully present our community concerns over the significant health, safety and other issues supporting the Planning Board’s decision. In order to maintain this effort, CWAG will continue its fundraising activities.
This action is especially important to CWAG due to what we believe to be the unfair characterization of what happened during the hearings. A small minority of Canal Walk residents opposed the warehouse
CWAG will actively work with our attorneys to correct any perceived misrepresentations.
The developer of the proposed B9 warehouses, located on the corner of Schoolhouse and Mettler’s Roads, is suing the Franklin Township Planning Board to overturn their denial of the warehouse application for B9. This is the developer’s third lawsuit over the B9 warehouses with the two earlier suits against Franklin Township directly.
As promised, this is an update to the status of the ongoing legal fight proceedings
