Does Boonton Township's name give it a bad rap?

BOONTON TOWNSHIP -- What's in a name?According to Ed Daspin of Boonton Township, unnecessarily low property values. He says his municipality's name lumps it in with the neighboring Town of Boonton, and detracts from the reputation of a place he's glad to call home."The people that moved here over the last 25 years are the people that believe that branding and marketing of the wonderful way of life will lift the land values up, as right now the land and home...

BOONTON TOWNSHIP -- What's in a name?

According to Ed Daspin of Boonton Township, unnecessarily low property values. He says his municipality's name lumps it in with the neighboring Town of Boonton, and detracts from the reputation of a place he's glad to call home.

"The people that moved here over the last 25 years are the people that believe that branding and marketing of the wonderful way of life will lift the land values up, as right now the land and homes are a steal," Daspin said in an email to NJ Advance Media.

But for the nearly 700 members of the Keep Boonton Township Boonton Facebook group -- which sprung up last week in response to Daspin's plans for a petition -- the name "Boonton Township" holds plenty of value of its own. It's the name of the place where they grew up, where they raised their families. And it's a name they'd like to see stick.

"As a person who moved to (Boonton Township) in 1992 then moved out in 2005 and back in 2012, I'm disturbed and disgusted by the concept of changing our town's name for the sake of value," Lauren Bardach wrote to the group. "If you don't value your town and its history; it's time you move."

Daspin approached the Boonton Township Committee earlier this month with the idea, saying he and others would be putting together a committee hoping to effect a name change -- possibly to Mountain Lakes Township. The existing borough of Mountain Lakes was formed from portions of Boonton Township in 1924, and Boonton Township teens attend Mountain Lakes High School in a sending-receiving relationship.

Also up for consideration: Powerville, a historical name that still is used for a neighborhood in the township.

It's not an idea without precedent. West Paterson became Woodland Park in 2008 -- after several previous efforts to disassociate with Paterson failed. It proved a contentious change that was almost undone a year later. Passaic Township became Long Hill in 1992.

But it's not a change that would be made easily. To get it before voters, Daspin and his fellow committee members would need a petition to be signed by about 370 people -- 30 percent of those who voted in the last general election. That would have to be done by Aug. 14 to get on this year's ballot. Then, more than half the voters would need to say yes.

Township Administrator Barbara Shepard said as a resident, she's opposed to the idea -- and that she's gotten about 100 letters from other residents and former residents who feel the same way. Just one, she said, is in favor of a name change.

"As someone who's lived here for 20 years, I think Boonton Township has a terrific identity," she said. "I don't think it negatively impacts property values. I'm very proud to have raised my family here."

Daspin and opponents of his plan -- 600 or so joined the Facebook group within a day of its creation -- agree: Boonton Township's a nice place to live. He said it's a community with "minimum 2-acre lots, the best school system(s) in the state, meandering meadows, brooks, rivers, wildlife and streets that in the winter form a canopy of snow over the streets." For 2011-12, New Jersey Monthly named it the fourth-best place to live in New Jersey.

So what's wrong with the name?

Real Estate agent Ingrid Patois said the two Boontons do indeed sometimes get lumped together. And would-be home-buyers put a lot of weight -- maybe too much weight -- on the quality of a school system, she said. Last year, New Jersey Monthly rated Mountain Lakes High School, where Boonton Township students go, 19th in the state. Boonton High School, where the town's kids, go, was No. 212.

The median home value in the Boonton zip code is $381,800, according to Zillow.com. That figure encompasses both Boontons, as they share the zip code. In neighboring Mountain Lakes, it's $640,000. Note: A previous version of the post listed the value for the Boontons as $365,000, the value Zillow returns on a search for "Boonton, N.J."

But Patois said she thinks both Boontons are lovely communities -- and if anything, that the Town of Boonton is underrated.

"I think Boonton is coming into its own," she said. "I think we're seeing a trend happening there. If you can get past the high school stigma, that would elevate the housing costs -- there's a lot of room for equity in that town."

And Patois said she thinks home buyers know Boonton Township and Boonton Town are different communities -- they do their homework before considering purchases, she said.

For its part, the Boonton Township Committee is against a name change. It said in a Facebook post last week that while its members "listened respectfully when Mr. Daspin spoke to the committee," they're not on board with his idea.

"The name 'Township of Boonton' has served this township well for nearly 150 years," the committee wrote. "It is our intention that it will continue to do so for many more years to come."

Boonton reopens Pepe Field after two-year, $525K makeover at former Superfund site

BOONTON — The troubled and toxic history of Pepe Field and Playground may finally be over after the neighborhood park, once shuttered for decades as a toxic federal Superfund site, was rededicated this week after a second extended renovation.

"It had been closed for the pandemic," said Town Council member Marie Devenezia. "It was reopened but then closed in 2020 because the existing equipment had become very dilapidated. There was a lot of broken equipment and things that were deemed to be unsafe to play on. They were removed."

The site was reopened during an evening ceremony on Wednesday attended by local officials and more than 100 residents who live near the 3.5-acre park at the end of Wootton Street in Upper Boonton.

Council member Edina Renfro-Michel, the liaison to the town parks and recreation committee, said it took a few years to appropriate funds from the budget without raising taxes to cover the $525,000 makeover, which included a cushioned surface and new playground equipment such as slides, seated spinners and a rope bridge.

The basketball court was completely replaced, as the crumbling old surface could no longer be repaired.

Delays in equipment deliveries extended the closure to nearly two years, though with the planning and budgeting required, "I've been working on this for four years," Renfro-Michel said.

The dedication opened with a performance by Boonton's Harmony Senior Drum Corps. Seeing a crowd of anxious kids gathering at the gate, Mayor Richard Corcoran then sped through his speech and a ribbon-cutting.

"It's been a four-year journey for some of us," he said. "Please use it, enjoy it and be respectful."

With that invitation, the gates opened and the playground filled with dozens of children who ran for their favorite attractions. Parents hovered around taking photos and videos.

Tri-Town Little League provided refreshments for the event. The baseball diamond at the park has remained in use the past two years, but Renfro-Michel said the town hopes to renovate the ballfield area in the future.

Pepe's chemical history

Pepe Field, named after the Boonton family that donated the land, was closed to residents and Little League teams in the late 1970s when the foul smell coming from the site was found to be from high concentrations of hydrogen sulfide gas and methane.

The emissions were later traced to degrading vegetable oils, margarine residues, soaps, coal ash and trash dumped there decades earlier by Drew Chemical Corp., a major local employer at the time.

The federal Environmental Protection Agency designated the property a Superfund site in 1983. A $15 million remediation was completed, and the park reopened in 2000 after extensive delays that included financing issues after the EPA determined that Drew could not be held liable for cleanup costs.

The shuttered Drew plant sat abandoned for about two decades before the property was sold and remediated in 2000. A Walmart store opened on the site in 2004.

New Jersey has the most Superfund sites of any state, 114 as of Feb. 1. Sites placed on the EPA list are contaminated with hazardous substances that threaten public health or the environment.

Morris County has 10 of those sites, more than the total in 12 states.

BOONTON — Legal cannabis sales – retail and wholesale – are coming to town.

The town council voted, 7-1, Monday to approve those select operations, restricting them to the commercial zone along Myrtle Avenue (Route 202).

Council members approved the ordinance after a brief public discussion in which about six of the 40 people in attendance voiced their opinions about the measure.

Some were against retail sales and urged the council to keep the operations away from schools and children.

"Main Street is no place to be selling cannabis," said one woman, who labeled marijuana as a "gateway drug."

Resident Amy De Palma said she supports the ordinance and talked of how cannabis helped her mother during her illness. "The only thing that is helping her is edibles."

The approval bucks a trend of many municipalities acting to ban cannabis operations, at least temporarily, after Gov. Phil Murphy signed the legal recreational marijuana bill into law in June. The Legislature passed the laws after New Jersey voters overwhelmingly approved legal cannabis by referendum in the November 2020 election.

Local governments have until Aug. 21 to similarly "opt-out" of state-approved cannabis operations or be required to accept them within their borders for at least five years. The municipalities that ban it, can reverse course and opt-in at any time.

New Jersey has formed a commission to establish specific regulations for cannabis sales beyond the creation of six business categories: growing, manufacturing, wholesaling, distribution, retail sales and deliveries.

Councilman and former Mayor Cyril Wekilsky cast the lone vote against the ordinance, siding with elected leaders in many other towns, including Mount Olive, which voted to opt-out of the process until the state finalizes its own regulations.

"The state hasn't done that yet," Wekilsky said. "I tried to tell everyone that, but they wouldn't listen."

Mayor Richard Corcoran said the council was following the "overwhelming mandate" of Boonton residents, 71% of whom voted for legal cannabis with a voter turnout of 76%.

"We looked at a number of things after the election," he said. "The very first thing we looked at was how did Boonton vote on the ballot question. We did not think it was in our mandate to just throw away something as high as that."

Anticipating concerns about location, the committee recommended restricting it to the commercial zones along Myrtle Avenue, and at least 1,000 feet away from schools.

The number of licenses, taxes, fees and other considerations will be discussed at a future date, Corcoran said.

Most of Morris opting out

While some towns have approved or are considering ordinances to authorize select cannabis operations, Boonton is one of the first few to permit retail sales. Rockaway Township approved all sales and Pequannock opted to approve cultivation but prohibited other operations.

Boonton Township also previously approved cultivation for its existing grow facility but has banned all classes of cannabis operations going forward.

Parsippany opted to approve wholesaling and distribution only.

But many other towns are choosing to opt out of all cannabis operations. They include Chatham Township, Chester, Dover and Mount Olive. At least 10 more have introduced ordinances to ban those operations.

The Butler Council was expected to vote on an ordinance to approve retail sales on Tuesday.
