Schools Under Pressure
New housing adds students. Residents deserve a clear accounting of school capacity before major residential density is approved.
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.
Egg Harbor Township can grow responsibly, but approvals should not come before infrastructure, school capacity, public safety, stormwater protection, and quality-of-life safeguards.
New housing adds students. Residents deserve a clear accounting of school capacity before major residential density is approved.
Dense subdivisions push more cars onto local roads. Traffic impacts should be measured honestly, not minimized during approvals.
Fire, EMS, and police response capacity must keep pace with population growth, road congestion, and neighborhood expansion.
Clear-cutting, grading, compaction, and stormwater basins can change drainage patterns. Existing homes should not carry that risk.
More lots packed into residential areas can permanently change neighborhood character, privacy, open space, and property enjoyment.
Developers should pay their fair share for the infrastructure their projects require. Residents should not subsidize private profit.
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.
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.
Planning Board and Township Committee meetings are where development decisions become permanent.
State your address, how the project affects you, and what conditions you want required before approval.
Demand traffic counts, stormwater data, school impact review, infrastructure costs, and developer funding commitments.
Share agendas, collect concerns, submit OPRA requests, and make sure every affected household knows what is happening.
Join residents calling for responsible growth, stronger infrastructure, transparent development approvals, and a Township government that protects the people who already live here.
