Please see below information regarding the redevelopment of the Hoffmann La-Roche campus.
Since June 2012, when the Township of Nutley learned of Hoffmann-La Roche's plans to close its campus, the Board of Commissioners has remained committed to working collaboratively with Roche and the City of Clifton to facilitate the site's transition into a redevelopment project that will benefit taxpayers, strengthen the local economy, and enhance the quality of life for our residents.
Throughout this process, the Board of Commissioners has recognized the importance of balancing several key priorities, including minimizing impacts on our schools, preserving municipal revenue, managing infrastructure demands, and maintaining the character and quality of life that make Nutley a desirable place to live. We understand and share the concerns expressed by residents and remain committed to ensuring that redevelopment decisions are made thoughtfully and responsibly.
As a community, we will continue to move forward together in repurposing this important property. Through cooperation, careful planning, and a shared vision for the future, Nutley will remain a premier destination community for generations to come.
