Analysis of Manville's Rustic Mall Plans

Manville.Today has analyzed Manville's "Resilient Communities Program" grant application. Manville had two versions of their grant application submitted to the State of NJ.

There was an initial application which was relatively benign and non-controversial. Then, they drastically revised their application to acquire the Rustic Mall, which will mostly be used as a "Municipal Campus".

Below is our special 6-part series. We break everything down for you in easy-to-understand terms, and inform you of what Manville is planning to do with the Rustic Mall. Please take the time to be informed, and know what is happening.
