The Gateway gets a hearing

The Home News reports that Tuesday night will be the big night for the NB Planning Board to hear about the proposed Gateway project. While details are sparse, DEVCO offers a basic description of what would become New Brunswick's tallest building. The report today is short but gives hints of what we be reading about on Wednesday:

Opponents of the project say Gateway's scale is out of character with the neighborhood's historical components. They say the project would dwarf St. Peter the Apostle Church, Rutgers University's Queens campus and Old Queens, the university's administration building. All three are state and federal historically designated sites.

Not unlike the Highway 18 process, this seems likely to speed through. But the comments along the way could highlight potential points of debate for the College Ave changes in the coming years.
