Controversial Somerville townhouse plan returns with 34 homes

SOMERVILLE – A controversial plan to build 34 townhouses on the western border of the borough , now part of Somerville's affordable housing plan, will return this month to the borough's Planning Board. Bell Avenue Holdings LLC is scheduled to appear before the board Nov. 12 with a proposal to build 34 townhouses at 6-10 Bell Ave. in three buildings. Twenty-eight units would be sold at market rate, while six would be set aside as affordable units. In March, the Borough Council, following Planning Board review, formally adopted a plan to meet its affordable housing obligation for the next decade by zoning for development on Bell Avenue and Mountain Avenue . No formal plans have been submitted for the Mountain Avenue property. To meet the court-ordered affordable housing mandate, the zoning allows 34 townhouses on the 2.6-acre Bell Avenue property north of the NJ Transit tracks on Somerville's border with Raritan. Bell Avenue property has been subject of lawsuits The inclusion of the property in the borough's affordable housing plan and the rezoning of the parcel for multifamily development may help end a legal fight that began in November 2022.

Nellie Pou declares victory over Rosie Pino in NJ’s 9th District

Rep. Nellie Pou declared victory on Nov. 3 in her bid for a second term representing New Jersey’s 9th Congressional District, where Republicans had hoped to build on President Donald Trump’s narrow win two years earlier. The Democratic incumbent issued a statement at about 10 p.m. thanking voters after opening a large lead over Republican Rosie Pino, a Clifton councilwoman, in initial returns that included early voting and some mail-in ballots. Independent Terrisa Bukovinac also ran for the seat. “From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank the people of New Jersey’s Ninth District for the trust they have placed in me,” Pou said. Speaking by phone just a few minutes earlier as she traveled between campaign gatherings, Pou said she was optimistic about the returns but stopped short of declaring a win. “I do believe that we will be victorious, and the numbers are looking exceptionally good,” she told NorthJersey.com. Pou first won the seat in 2024 after the death of longtime Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr., defeating Republican Billy Prempeh by about 5 percentage points even as Trump narrowly carried the district. Democrats regained ground in the 2025 governor’s race in the district, which includes Paterson, Passaic
