Jackson looks to swap land with religious school developer
Four private religious schools, once planned for Leesville Road, will instead be built on the eastern side of town, near the Lakewood border, if the township council approves a unique land swap agreement with the developer next month.
The Jackson Township Council on Tuesday unanimously introduced an ordinance permitting the town to exchange a series of small parcels, about 46 acres total, along White Road for the 35-acre Leesville Road site where developer Mordechai Eichorn, through his company Bellevue Estates LLC, had proposed a four-school complex that would serve up to 2,850 students from the town's booming Orthodox Jewish population.
If the land swap is approved by the council on Feb. 14, Eichorn will get a total of 43 acres across dozens of small lots on White Road, between Bellevue Avenue and Maplehurst Avenue, backing up to the Lakewood border.
