TACO BELL:
A new Taco Bell is planned in Lambertville near the corner of Sterns and Secor in the near future.  The Taco Bell will be on C-3 zoning.  According to Bedford Township hall records, the NE corner of Sterns and Secor has been zoned C-3 commercial since the 1970’s.   If you are unsure about how a neighboring piece of property is zoned, we recommended that you hire legal counsel for due diligence before you purchase a piece of property.

The Indian Acres subdivision that borders Whitman Ford is the largest subdivision in Bedford and it was well established before the construction of the Whitman automobile dealership.   In the final decision of the 2007 lawsuit, Judge Costello wrote,  "Since the very beginning the western-most portion of the property was zoned residential. The township has remained consistent in maintaining this classification."  

Judge Costello  also said in the final decision,   "Our system of government is based upon a representative democracy, and one would hope that any legislative body would consider the wishes of their constituents." 

If a big box store is built on the Whitman property, Bedford Township residents will have to pay millions of dollars in damage to the roads; loss of property values, and additional taxes to pay for an increase in our police and fire departments.

Read the open letter to Jon Whitman in response to his paid advertisement in Bedford Now on November 29, 2008.  Bedford Township residents have gone thru 8 requested zoning changes from Jon Whitman in the past 8 years.
