Protect Nutley: Say No to the Mega-Warehouse on Kingsland Street

There is a terrible plan to build a huge Amazon warehouse in Nutley. This is not just bad for Nutley but also for neighboring towns.

Please sign the change.org petition against this plan.

PLANNING BOARD MEETING

The Applicant's hearing scheduled is tentatively scheduled for June 4, 2025 at 7:00 P.M.

This development would worsen flooding in the area.  If you know anyone in Bloomfield or Nutley who could attend the meeting, please pass on this info. to them.  Thanks.

For more updates on the schedule and agenda when this proposal will be heard by the town of Nutley, please see the Nutley website: https://www.nutleynj.org/

A mega-warehouse is being proposed on Kingsland Street, in the heart of a residential neighborhood surrounded by family homes. This very land was the subject of a class-action lawsuit involving over 400 homeowners, after toxic chemicals from the former Hoffmann-La Roche site were found to have contaminated local soil and groundwater. A $17.5 million settlement was awarded for the damage done — and yet now, development continues.

The proposal includes:

• 40 loading docks with the capacity for at least 40 eighteen-wheelers entering and exiting daily

• 24 truck parking spaces

• 133 vehicle spaces

Kingsland Street is already a high-traffic, accident-prone road, located just off a jughandle — a known congestion point. Adding industrial truck traffic will only worsen it, putting families, children, and school commuters at risk.

This warehouse threatens to turn Nutley from a quiet family town into a noisy industrial corridor. It risks plummeting property values, increasing air and noise pollution, and disturbing land formerly tied to toxic exposure.

By signing this petition, you’re urging our Nutley Planning Board to reject this plan. This is about health. Safety. And protecting what makes Nutley feel like home.

Let’s keep Nutley a place for families, not freight.
