Patricia,

Dear Caryn Hoyer,
As per NJDEP due diligence requirements, I will need everything associated with the property "since 1932 or before the site was developed, whichever is earlier". From a review of other historical documents, the property was developed for agricultural purposes sometime prior to 1930 and then the residential building and Townsend Machine were constructed during the early 1970s; so, all construction permits over that time frame (1930 through present day) would be ideal.
Yours sincerely,
Patricia Westfield
