Honeywell Hearings Begin, a Summer Concert on Tap

First Honeywell Hearing on Zoning Ordinance Wednesday

The first of three hearings about the zoning ordinance to allow Honeywell to redevelop its corporate campus will be on Wedneday. The ordinance, which was on July 18, calls for the development of 235 townhomes and office and lab space. Some residents fear the new development plans on the company's 147-acre property will pose many problems such as an increase in traffic and hazards to the enivronment.

Morris Township committee member Daniel Caffrey is performing at this week's concert with one of New Jersey's top country bands, Due South. He'll join the band by playing his guitar on Tuesday at Ginty Park. This is Caffrey's first performance in the summer concert series, and he was approached by the band to play.
