From the Times: Roma Bank backs out of Robbinsville municipal building


From the Times' Mike Davis:

Roma Bank and Investors Bank have called off plans for construction of a new retail building that would have housed Robbinsville’s municipal offices, sending the township back to the drawing board in its search for a permanent town hall, officials said yesterday.

Roma broke ground in October on the planned three-story building adjacent to the bank’s headquarters on Route 33 in Town Center. The township was to purchase rights to the 8,930-square-foot third floor for $3 million, and Roma was going to lease the lower floors as retail and office space.

But in December, after Roma announced it was being purchased by Investors Bank of Short Hills, the project’s future became uncertain, Mayor Dave Fried said. The building site remains ringed by fencing hung with banners, but construction does not appear to have progressed beyond some digging.

You can read the full story here. I'll update once I find out more.
