Meeting re-scheduled to February 17, 7pm. The initial zoom allowance was only 100 participants, which filled up quickly and many were not able to log in. They upped it to 500 but were afraid many were unaware after the initial lock out.

BTW, I agree “business is business” BUT we are dealing with The NJ Pinelands Commission (to help preserve the pine forests in central/southern NJ) with this deal here.

The track was built in 1959 and opened in 1960: approximately 14 years BEFORE the advent of the Pinelands Commission.

The auto auction co. (IAA) is looking for a “change of use”. My point of contention is: the track was there before the commission and if that or any company would want to build their business today (or even a drag strip) on that land, be it wooded or farmland, they would probably not be allowed to do so under existing Pinelands rules; so why allow them to “change of use” now? The track was there prior and it should be a track or go back to its natural state; nothing else.

Again, my 2 cents. Joe
