The council was scheduled Nov. 5 to adopt an ordinance to buy a vacant half-acre lot on Richard Street for $65,000 from Eric Murdock, a former NBA player, and Darrow Murdock, the township's former tax collector. The council also tabled the introduction of an ordinance to purchase two other lots in Hobbstown for $165,000. The Sussex Avenue properties are owned by Nancy Jean Field, Glenn Field and William Robinson.

From NAACP Co-Founder to Black Millennial Homeowner

On a mild morning in Forest Hill, sunlight strikes the south-facing breakfast nook at 54 Abington Avenue at an angle that feels deliberate, almost engineered. Framed in 1875, the residence stands as an asymmetrical mass of rusticated brownstone, Roman brick, and steep late-Victorian gables. In the front yard, an autumn cherry blossom has all but a few leaves left to fall, alongside an apple tree. Inside the kitchen, 34-year-old commercial real estate professional Terrell Simmons stands watching the light pool across the restored floorboards.
