Egg Harbor Township residents deserve a say

Stop reckless growth before it overwhelms EHT.

Out-of-town and out-of-state development interests should not be allowed to profit from Egg Harbor Township while residents inherit the pressure on schools, roads, drainage, emergency services, taxes, traffic, and neighborhood density.

This is not anti-growth. This is pro-resident planning.

Egg Harbor Township can grow responsibly, but approvals should not come before infrastructure, school capacity, public safety, stormwater protection, and quality-of-life safeguards.

🏫

Schools Under Pressure

New housing adds students. Residents deserve a clear accounting of school capacity before major residential density is approved.

🚗

More Traffic

Dense subdivisions push more cars onto local roads. Traffic impacts should be measured honestly, not minimized during approvals.

🚒

Emergency Services

Fire, EMS, and police response capacity must keep pace with population growth, road congestion, and neighborhood expansion.

💧

Drainage & Water

Clear-cutting, grading, compaction, and stormwater basins can change drainage patterns. Existing homes should not carry that risk.

🏘️

Density Creep

More lots packed into residential areas can permanently change neighborhood character, privacy, open space, and property enjoyment.

💰

Developer Profit, Public Cost

Developers should pay their fair share for the infrastructure their projects require. Residents should not subsidize private profit.

Weak infrastructure should not be treated as a blank check.

When roads, stormwater systems, schools, and public services are already strained, the answer cannot be automatic approval of more density without firm funding, enforceable conditions, and transparent public review.

SaveEHT.com calls for planning that puts residents first, not corporate convenience.

  • Require developers to fund the road, drainage, traffic, and safety improvements directly linked to their projects.
  • Demand full public disclosure of ownership, project financing, professional conflicts, and any public subsidies.
  • Protect existing homeowners from flooding, grading, runoff, noise, privacy loss, and construction impacts.
  • Stop treating every vacant parcel as a target for maximum-density housing.
  • Prioritize local businesses, open space, recreation, and community-serving uses where appropriate.
  • Insist that the Planning Board and Township Committee explain how each major approval benefits current residents.

What residents can do now

The most powerful thing residents can do is show up, speak on the record, ask specific questions, and demand written answers before approvals are granted.

1

Attend Meetings

Planning Board and Township Committee meetings are where development decisions become permanent.

2

Speak on Record

State your address, how the project affects you, and what conditions you want required before approval.

3

Ask for Proof

Demand traffic counts, stormwater data, school impact review, infrastructure costs, and developer funding commitments.

4

Organize Neighbors

Share agendas, collect concerns, submit OPRA requests, and make sure every affected household knows what is happening.
