Lucent Property
Redevelopment Report:
Prepared by REVA Partners
January 26, 2009
“Given the costs of retrofitting the
existing building we recommend
that the existing structure be
demolished at the current property
owner’s expense if the property is
to be conveyed to the Township.
We also recommend that any
existing environmental concerns
within the building and on the site
be remediated by the existing
property owner as well.”

10. “The ebb and flow of any
redevelopment project
inevitably involves differences
of opinion on various
proposals. But the open house
should help put everyone on
the same page when it comes
to saving this special building
as a work of art.”
