Information Session & Survey: Orchard Hill, Licari and Strahman I & II Sites Concepts
The township will hold an in–person public information session to discuss preliminary concept plans for the Orchard Hill, Licari, and Strahman I & II sites on Monday, December 1 at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers at Town Hall, 357 S. Livingston Avenue.
Before attending the information session, all residents are encouraged to fill out the Livingston Open Space & Recreation Survey at surveymonkey.com/r/7R2QZ5W. Residents who aren’t able to attend the information session are also encouraged to fill out the survey.
This survey displays multiple concept plans for the three sites. The township, in collaboration with T&M Associates, has developed these plans based on previous in–person public information sessions.
Input will help refine the concepts and guide final decisions to ensure these spaces reflect the needs and priorities of Livingston residents and the surrounding community.
The meeting on December 1 will also be live streamed on the township’s Facebook page and posted to YouTube:
