Stafford Township, NJ — Stafford Township recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new EMS/Fire Substation at 357 Haywood Rd. Constructed as part of the community investment initiative by Barnegat-based Walters, the new station is home to Stafford Township’s Volunteer Fire Company, EMS, and Emergency Management Department.
Walters’ president and founder, Ed Walters Jr., joined local dignitaries, including Mayor Robert Henken, Council President Lisa Mower, Councilwoman Amy Otte, Councilman Steven Esposito, Chief Jason Spisak, Chief Michael Essig, Township Administrator Matthew von der Hayden, and Township Engineer Frank Little, to mark the occasion.
In addition to developing the new substation, Walters has committed significant resources to several other public improvements in Stafford Twp. These include refurbishing and reconditioning the existing Stafford Park water tower, completing construction of the Township’s newest park and playground, Park of the Pines, and making enhancements at Nautilus Park, including three new athletic fields and a new traffic signal near Costco.
“These projects are enriching the quality of life for Stafford Twp. residents. The result is a healthier and more robust community,” said Ed Walters Jr.
Construction is on schedule for Cornerstone at Grassy Hollow II, a premium, income-restricted apartment community slated for completion in November, according to Walters. The initial housing lottery for the new apartment community at 200 Back Rd. in Manahawkin closed this month, with robust interest reflecting sustained affordable housing demand within the local market.
The development will offer 34 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments in two buildings. The first building is expected to be completed by mid-September 2024, with the second to follow.
In addition to managing the property, Walters will be providing on-site supportive services to help residents thrive.
