[NJARC] RAB Meeting of 27 April

[Ray Chase]

Many thanks to the 15+ members who showed up at the RAB meeting in Wall 
Township.  Our presence created a stir even though the situation 
regarding Camp Evans had quickly been reversed by the actions of the 
township and a US Congressman.  Our show of community support made them 
uneasy even though the dire circumstances of a month ago had been turned 
around by a unified front.  We need to not relax at all until the 
property is deeded over and I shall try to keep you informed.
The contract for sewer repair is now let and by this time next month it 
should be completed to the cottages and to the Marconi hotel.  There are 
no further events that should prevent the deeding over of the Diana site 
and the two cottages by summer.  There are still issues with the Marconi 
hotel that will prevent transfer til next year but the attitude of BRAC 
has turned around.
If you wish to delve into significant documentation on the history and 
recent developments regarding these problems, please go to 
<infoage.org/noimpact.htm> for details.  Of most significance is item 
21, the April 6 letter from the township to the Army.  It puts the whole 
issue in perspective.  It's a good idea to check the infoage site 
regularly anyway, <infoage.org>.
We still need to maintain vigilance else the Army will revert to past 
practices.  Stay Tuned!!
