Hooray for Mayor Joseph Scarpelli, the Brick Township Council and the Concerned Citizens of Brick in their successful attempt to prevent another Home Depot from being built near a drinking water supply in their township! Congratulations to the more than 2,000 citizens who signed the Concerned Citizens’ petition!
It is possible for citizens to make a difference. It is possible to keep Home Depot and Preit Services out. More than 170 communities nationwide have successfully fought to keep this big-box hazard out of their town. Their traffic and hazardous products are not an asset. Home Depot needs to be where they don’t affect quality of life and drinking water supplies. They are a risky venture for any town.
