Developers will price retail units beginning in February.
Driving on either side of the Towaco train station, it's hard to miss the large building starting to take shape next door. That building is the Towaco Crossing development that broke ground last spring. Included in the project is 1,200 feet of space for six retail businesses and six residential units and the development's centerpiece, an 18,000-foot restaurant called Rails Steakhouse. April's groundbreaking was an important day for many elected officials as the development is planned to become a "destination" in Montville. The project, even currently in its construction phase and continuing after the establishments are open, is expected to bring dozens of jobs to the local area. Assemblywoman BettyLou DeCroce said projects like Towaco …

JCP&L told township officials they would be working in the neighborhoods as residents kept fingers crossed.
Like many throughout New Jersey, some Montville residents in sections of Towaco and the Lake Valhalla community remained without power Thursday. Knowing neighbors throughout the township had already seen their power restored was frustrating, one said. "It's hard to see other people's power coming back on and you've still got nothing," Lauren Trionfo, a Duynecrest Road resident, said. Trionfo has been without power since 2 p.m. on Oct. 29. Her family was recently loaned a generator by a friend whose power was restored, but she said she has only been using it to heat up the house at night so that her family is warm enough to sleep there. She has been cooking meals on the grill, working at her friend's house, doing laundry at her boss' house…

Nearby residents of Alpine Road voice concerns of overgrown weeds, safety issues.
The site of luxury homes on Alpine Road appears more like a "jungle," according to one Towaco resident. The Montville Township Committee held a public hearing Tuesday night for the ongoing construction of the Forest Ridge luxury home development on Alpine Road near Gunther's View. The developer, Peter Nagle of Peter Nagle Builders LLC, was present to address concerns from committee members and residents.
