Own a Piece of Mooch (sort of)

Very surprising that they didn't do it as a private to the town or camp.
Maybe they couldn't agree on a price??

@KenS - if we sell the yacht, could JORBA pull this off?
(maybe just sell the helicopter? it needed to be upgraded anyway)

How much would it cost to build a bike park on 473 acres? Taxes are $137 a month, great deal.
 
I didn't think you could buy land that cheaply in NJ. Seems like an easy win for the state/county. Not like they're making much tax revenue on it.
 
I'm fairly sure the Highlands act would preclude building anything permanent or significantly improving what is there.

@mattybfat would know.
 
That address is BSA, judging by the shape BSA is in unfortunately they are selling a piece of there 1000 acres. Maybe the rt 80 tract for 5000 more townhouses because you know NJ loves Affirmatively furthering fair housing.

It's 3 separate parcels surrounding the BSA camp, shown in green on the map.

Sorry. Went a-googling for any news articles about the sale and this was the first thing that came up.

No worries, good to know the context of the sale. Doesn't necessarily mean the Allamuchy camp was involved (no idea) just the broader BSA.
 
The most concerning section is bottom left to center green. As a long time resident and commuter of 80 you watch the sprawl of townhouses inching further out along rt 80. This area could very well see this. Hopefully not and maybe by that time I can finally be out of the state if so. The other areas is either steep boulders or wet land which maybe only leaves a private ownership.
