Montclair councilor holding meeting on Lackawanna Plaza tonight

Fourth Ward Councilor David Cummings is holding a community meeting tonight, Nov. 10, to provide information to Montclair residents about the Lackawanna Plaza redevelopment plan, which is under consideration by the Montclair Township Council.

The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. at the Municipal Building, 205 Claremont Ave. The meeting is open to the public, and there will be opportunities for individuals to ask questions and discuss the matter.

Earlier this month, the council voted to table consideration on whether to send the 115-page plan to the Planning Board until Dec. 6. The decision was made, in part, because Cummings asked for time to discuss the plan with his constituents. Lackawanna Plaza is in the Fourth Ward.

Last week Cummings held a meeting at the Charles Bullock School, where he was joined by the township's director of planning and community development, Janice Talley, and the Lackawanna Plaza developer, David Placek, who is a Montclair resident.
