Guest TBA Harrison Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 http://njpolitics.com/harrison%20houses%20razed.pdf The following is from the above site: "The scary part about condemnation is the state has the right to purchase yourproperty. That's a horrible thing," Ahern admitted. "But the state has to build decent schools . The not-so-horrible part is that the state of New Jersey - in this case the Schools Construction Corporation - can't tell you what your property is worth." While Ahern cautioned property owners not to panic, since the studies may exempt certain properties, he admitted that "more likely than not" owners who receive letters will lose their properties.Upon completion of the feasibility studies, the SCC will begin negotiating with owners to purchase properties. If owners and the SCC appraisers can't agree on a price, a judge will appoint a panel of three Hudson County real estate experts to determine one. The SCC will also assist homeowners in identifying comparable properties within Harrison, and will pay the difference for owners to purchase a comparable home. Moving expenses up to 50 miles are also included. Tenants receive a 42-month rent supplement, as well as moving expenses. "A number of people use that money and make a down payment for a house. We encourage that," Ahern said of the rent subsidies. The loss of so many homes may mean a big loss of ratables for Harrison, according to Anselmo Millan, a former Harrison councilman. Millan estimated that the town would lose between $600,000 and $700,000 in ratables. "The Town of Harrison is a distressed city. We receive aid from the state, and now we're losing ratables," said Millan, whose home is not being considered for demolition."We understand that education is very important. But to us, these are not houses. These are homes. This is where we choose to live . These people don't want to move out. They have whole families here." Cleveland Avenue resident John Kozdron echoed Millan's sentiments, calling for a referendum to determine if voters agree with the proposed school expansion. What happened, what you didn't hear? The SCC sent letters to purchase the homes, but a petition organized by MILLAN caused the SCC to delay and arrange a meeting with MILLAN. MILLAN had a petition signed by 1000 people, and the SCC realized they ran out of money. What could have happened?? The homes would have been purchased and stayed there vacant, for years. You know if you live in that area you got a letter saying you had to prepare to move.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
