Deal Saves Cranbury Farm From Being Seized for Affordable Housing

A 175-year-old farm in Cranbury that was supposed to be bulldozed by the township and turned into affordable housing will be saved.

After months of public pleading to spare their farm, the owners, the Henry family, sued Cranbury. They challenged the township’s assessment that their property was the only location for the town to build a 265-unit housing complex, in order to fulfill their fourth round affordable housing obligation, to meet state mandates.
