BERKELEY AQUATIC CLUB, BERKELEY HEIGHTS
|
The Berkeley Aquatic Club has signed an agreement with the
Union County Improvement Authority to purchase four acres of
land for $1.6
million at Runnells Specialized Hospital that would enable
it to build a 40,000 square foot facility that would become
one of the premier swim and fitness facilities on the East
Coast.
The County would reap funds from the sale of the unused,
vacant property in Berkeley
Heights, which sits at the lower basin of Runnells
Specialized Hospital. Together with
Berkeley Heights, the County would gain a soon-to-be
determined amount in permanent ratables and tax revenues
from the facility. The land, which is owned by the County,
is currently tax-exempt. |
