Request for information about obtaining properties owned by the Cedar Grove Township.
Dear Cedar Grove Township,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.
I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
I am inquiring about getting a list of properties owned by the township that are available for purchase. I am looking for empty lots, 1-4 family houses and small commercial buildings. I work with a local developer looking to buy these properties to renovate them and sell them to end buyers who will be paying the property taxes.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
J Goncalves
