Jackson township announces nighttime construction ban after complaints about adventure crossing

JACKSON TOWNSHIP, NJ – In the aftermath of a contentious meeting between township residents who live near the massive new warehouse and entertainment complex known as Adventure Crossing, the township of Jackson introduced a new ordinance banning nighttime construction.

In that meeting, residents were told construction workers at the Adventure Crossing site were operating into the night, creating a public disturbance within the community. Town officials told residents as long as they were not violating the township’s noise ordinance, the construction was permitted.

However, it was learned the township had no scientific means to detect and enforce noise ordinance violations.

This week, Jackson Councilman Nino Borrelli announced an ordinance that will ban construction township-wide between the hours of 8 pm and 7 am, Monday through Friday, and between 8 pm and 8 am on weekends.

“We crafted this ordinance to be reasonable to Jackson residents and business operators,” Borelli said. “There has to be a balance so progress doesn’t interfere with the quality of life.”
