Subject: 209-211 Garden St.
Cong. Jon Runyan, [R] 3rd Cong. District is going to be visiting the property at 209-211 Garden St. on Tuesday, October 30th at 12:30 to meet the representatives from the Federal Home Loan Bank of New York who will present us with the ceremonial check from their award of $200,000 toward the purchase and renovation of the Amity Transitional Housing project that was announced last week.
I want to invite you to be present to share with us in this joyous event and to welcome the Congressman and the FHLB representatives to Mt. Holly.
We still have not had confirmation on any funding being awarded by the NJ Dept. of Community Affairs Shelter Support Program that we applied for this summer. So, the funding package is not complete, but this is a major first step in putting the project together with the funding needed to complete goal of creating 10 more units of transitional housing for women and children.

Mt. Holly in national media spotlight again
Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012Epic failure of the Gardens redevelopment project
The failed redevelopment of the Mt. Holly Gardens continues to not only waste our tax dollars but attract unwanted attention from the media. This time the issue was featured in a Huffington Post story.
The hypocrite Kent Pipes is quoted in the story but what they left out is he personally profited from the Gardens project.
Almost $20 MILLION in debt and no shovel in the ground yet in May 2010 they had a “ceremonial ground-breaking” for election year politics. What will they do this year, celebrate that they are building a high-density apartment complex that is going to over-crowd our schools?
Kent Pipes continues to ruin Mt. Holly
Tuesday, January 10th, 2012Homeless shelter approved on Garden Street
A Garden Street property can now house a total of 25 homeless women and children.
A certificate of occupancy was granted by the township late last month to the Affordable Homes Group Inc. of Eastampton for the property at 209-211 Garden St.
Kent Pipes, president of the nonprofit, said residents are expected to move into the transitional housing in the next few weeks. (more…)
2011 in review
Monday, January 2nd, 2012School and Fire District budgets rubber stamped, new Councilman elected, Council refuses to pass ethics policy (twice), and police force cut while crime on the rise.
Budgets
The year 2011 brought a couple surprises but a lot of business as usual. In February the Fire District budget was defeated by the public just to have Town Council rubber stamp it and keep the tax increase intact. The same thing happened in April with the School District budget when that was defeated by the voters as well. Councilman Dow seemed to be the only member of Council listening to the will of the voters as he voted no for both defeated budgets. Also in April on the school ballot was a public question for the township to exceed the 2% tax cap. The question was narrowly defeated in contrast to the school budgets that were defeated by significant margins. As a result of the defeated cap question the MHPD staffing was cut and two police officers now patrol our town per shift instead of three. At the same time violent crime has been on the rise and at least four shootings occurred in town.
Elections (more…)
Hollowell, Belton, Gibson = sore losers
Monday, November 14th, 2011At the council meeting Monday night Hollowell showed what a sore loser he is by crying about how he should have won the election and that its not fair that he lost.
Belton and Gibson cheered him on.
Note: Hollowell sat next to Kent Pipes at the meeting. Pipes has pledged thousands for Hollowell’s next attempt at office. Owning over twenty properties in town (and pays ZERO in taxes) Pipes has a lot at stake.
Kent Pipes supports Hollowell
Saturday, November 5th, 2011The man who wants to put half-way houses everywhere in Mt. Holly supports Hollowell
Approximately four Salt and Light (Pipes) owned properties in town are proudly displaying Hollowell signs. Even the Salt and Light admin building in Eastampton has a Hollowell campaign sign in front of it. Pipes who was in attendance at the Candidates Night publicly endorsed Hollowell and even bragged that he contributed to his campaign. Pipes owns 20+ properties in Mt. Holly through his varies companies and pays ZERO in taxes so I guess he is trying to protect his investment.
Hollowell’s supporters:
Kent Pipes- who stands to make a lot of money off his gardens properties and wants to put half-way houses in town
High Street Elite- the political machine that controls town and wastes your tax dollars
Winnzinger Inc- has made millions of dollars from demolishing homes in the Gardens and used millions of your tax dollars on their businesses in town
