The properties at 191, 195, 199 and 205 Westfield Avenue include vacant, deteriorated or obsolete buildings, according to the redevelopment study. A designation could allow the Township Council to adopt redevelopment rules and potentially offer tax incentives, but it does not guarantee tax abatements or redevelopment. Residents raised concerns about traffic, pedestrian safety, affordable housing and the need for coordinated planning.
