Nice to see a developer utilizing nearby rail service. The mega warehouses along the Turnpike around 8A lack rail service.

I forgot what it's called but a lot of warehouses' operation and distribution techniques don't work well with rail service.

Ironically enough, the rail service to this warehouse might cause issues for it since the nosey neighbors who are claiming it's a trucking terminal have water to their argument due to the fact that there's rail service.

@JohnFromJersey Sounds like the Red Bank Recycling fiasco back when they tried to get rail service back in 2007.

What is ironic here is that those very same nosy neighbors would be the first to kick and scream when local government tells them that their property taxes will need to go up because there isn't enough commercial industrial tax base to make up the difference!
