flag A deal prevents Cranbury, NJ, from seizing a 175-year-old farm for housing, pending a state rule change.

flag A last-minute agreement has prevented Cranbury Township, New Jersey, from using eminent domain to seize the Henry family’s 21-acre, 175-year-old farm for affordable housing. flag The plan, which aimed to build 130 units, faced national scrutiny and intervention from the Trump administration and USDA officials, who questioned its legality under farmland protection laws. flag The resolution hinges on an upcoming state rule change that would allow affordable housing near large warehouses, removing a key barrier. flag With the rule expected by year-end, Cranbury will now seek alternative sites. flag Governor Phil Murphy praised the bipartisan effort to preserve farmland while meeting housing mandates, and the Fair Share Housing Center has paused its legal challenge. flag A formal settlement is still pending, but township attorneys have agreed not to proceed with land acquisition.
