Don’t turn Revolutionary War site into more N.J. warehouses, critics say

A New Jersey farm that may have been used as an encampment for British troops during the Revolutionary War could become a warehouse site unless county officials can negotiate a deal with a development company that owns the property.

Active Acquisitions, a real estate development firm based in Wall, is seeking permission from local and county planning boards to build two warehouses totaling 453,720 square feet on Old York Road in Upper Freehold, according to meeting documents.
