New Jersey Brownfields
Redevelopment Update

Photo Description: Dormant for years, Woodbridge's former municipal landfill is pictured as it looks today along with a rendering of a proposed new ice hockey and family fun center that will be constructed on top of the site. The township is well on its way to obtaining the appropriate state clearances to make this project a reality in the near future. An innovative approach to cap the old solid waste landfill, incorporating the new structure into the required cap and methane gas venting systems, makes this endeavor one of the most interesting brownfield projects underway in 1998.
