1The Jackson Township Council has unanimously adopted a resolution strongly opposing newly introduced state legislation that would permit religious and nonprofit-owned properties to be developed at a density of up to 40 housing units per acre, bypassing local municipal zoning oversight.

Under that plan, any church, mosque, or synagogue can build high-density housing of up to 40 units per acre on its property as long as it has a 20% set-aside for affordable housing.
