I received an invitation to attend the Erickson Community meeting that was open to local business holders here in Hillsborough, I was unable to attend but from what I gathered from the invite they were attempting to get local businesses on board to support them by offering them the opportunity to be \\\"Preferred Businesses\\\" for the community. I questioned this because the whole point of this Retirement Community is that it is self contained, from medical care to salons and restaurants they are all on site, so I am not quite sure how that benefits our local businesses but it looks like the Township is expressing their reservations about this building project as well. If you go to the township website www.hillsborough-nj.org there is an article about Erikson withdrawing their plans. (unsigned 09/27/08 11:40am) REPLY
