This is not useful information that anyone can use to help you. You do not need to tell us the exact street address location, but you didn’t even mention the municipality or the county.

You might consider how to avoid being like either of the people in this joke: https://www.gluckman.com/harry/engineermanager.htm

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_Iowa

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_counties_in_New_Jersey

  • Polk County, Iowa contains the city of Des Moines, which is also the capital and most populated city in Iowa. Polk has about the same number of people as Burlington County, and the same area as Atlantic County.

  • Bergen County has less area than Iowa's smallest county, Dickinson. But its population is about double Polk County's.

  • Salem is the least-populated NJ county, but it has nearly as many people as Iowa's Adams, Ringgold, Audubon, Taylor, Osceola, Wayne, Fremont, Ida, Pocahontas, Van Buren, and Worth counties, combined.

  • Those eleven counties have about 5,300 square miles total. New Jersey has about 7,300 square miles of land area, statewide.

Finally, New Jersey has more counties than Iowa per square mile of area, but Iowa has more counties per capita.

state pop (approx) sq mi land area # of counties counties per million people counties per thousand sq mi
NJ 9,288,994 7,354 21 2.2 2.85
IA 3,190,369 55,857 99 31.0 1.77

That's one of the official proposals from NJT.

here's a proposal for mixed-use development on a metropark parking lot: https://www.nj.com/news/2022/10/metropark-to-become-more-than-a-train-station-under-plan-to-build-offices-apartments.html

on the other hand, here's NJT blocking a housing development at the morristown train station: https://morristowngreen.com/2022/02/22/morristown-parking-authority-sues-nj-transit-over-apartment-money-grab/
