Why a website against a warehouse on the Peron Howard Street Property In Downtown Phillipsburg near the Delaware River?
The Phillipsburg No Warehouse website was built in response to the proposed construction of a warehouse on the Peron Howard Street property in downtown Phillipsburg along the Delaware River. The initial discussion of the warehouse on the Peron Howard Street Property began in January 2021.
In the spring of 2021, a number of residents joined together for the purpose of stopping the construction of the warehouse on the Peron Howard Street property. In the ealry phases of the resistance against the warehouse, the residents were supported by the Phillipsburg Riverview Organization, the New Jersey Highlands Coalition, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network and many residents throughout Phillipsburg and Pohatcong. Since that time, we have been doing what we can to provide information about the warehouse issue and doing what we can to prevent a warehouse on the Peron Howard Street Property.
