We showed up to oppose the warehouse redevelopment at 100 Fidelity Plaza.

We organized, we kept our neighbors informed, and we took action.

Through our efforts and solidarity, the redevelopment plan at 100 Fidelity Plaza was rejected and North Brunswick joins the scores of New Jersey municipalities that have secured a total datacenter ban.

Thank you to everyone who devoted their time, their expertise, and their voice to this cause.

Now that this battle is over, what's next?

1. Stay involved.

Continue to participate in community meetings, stay informed, and help our neighbors stay engaged in local issues. Democracy requires vigilance and participation of all of us.

2. Support our neighboring communities and advocacy organizations.

Fights much like ours are happening regularly in Middlesex County and across New Jersey. Whether by raising awareness or showing up in person, every contribution, no matter how small, means a world of difference for our neighboring communities.

Our efforts were strengthened by the support and collaboration of several advocacy organizations dedicated to protecting our communities and the environment. Consider lending your support to these organizations as well.

3. Advocate for responsible development.

While we celebrate the successful defense of our town, there are so many other municipalities in New Jersey that aren't so fortunate. Community opposition sometimes stretches for months or even years at a time. In many cases, the opposition is not enough to stop redevelopment projects.

There must be more protection given to communities facing unwanted redevelopment projects. The Local Redevelopment and Housing Law (LRHL) is in need of reform.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
