The Plan Area is part of a larger Redevelopment Area located within the southwesterly portion of the Borough of Netcong which is bounded by Flanders Road, Furnace Pond, Bank Street, Main Street and Route 46 (the “Redevelopment Area”). The Plan Area occupies the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Route 46 and Flanders Road, as shown in Figure 1, Plan Area Location. In 2004, the Mayor and Council of the Borough of Netcong directed the Planning Board to deter- mine whether an area in the southwesterly portion of the Borough qualified as an area in need of re- development in accordance with the criteria specified at N.J.S.A. 40A:12A-5. The area under con- sideration included Block 19, Lot 14. The Planning Board directed Phillips Preiss Shapiro Associ- ates, Inc., to conduct the Redevelopment Area investigation. The subsequent study entitled Redevel- opment Area Investigation for an area bounded by Flanders Road, Furnace Pond, Bank Street, Main Street, and Route 46 in the Borough of Netcong, New Jersey, was submitted in March 2004.
