Following a story MHProNews last posted Aug. 8, 2012, regarding the sale of public property to a modular home builder, New Jersey’s Local Finance Board approved the sale of portions of Bridgeton’s Municipal Port Authority, including an 83,000 square-foot warehouse, to Renewable Jersey LLC. As thedailyjournal.com reports, the warehouse needs to be converted to modular home production where up to 120 full-time jobs are planned. As Bridgeton Mayor Albert B. Kelly says, “At the end of the day, it’s about jobs. Renewable Jersey has been a steadfast partner with us to get to this point, but they won’t be satisfied until they are producing modular homes and I won’t be satisfied until I see some of our residents going to work at their facility each day.” ##
