The money will be used to offset $1 million used in June to buy a 4-acre parcel at 2665 Route 130, Ms. Waterbury said.
”The total amount we’re seeking in reimbursement for the acquisition is $1,000,500, and about $36,000 in soft cost,” Ms. Waterbury said.

Cranbury is among the communities in the state that is mandated to provide for affordable housing under the state Supreme Court’s Mount Laurel ruling.
The township expects to build between 29 and 48 unites on the site, said Kathleen Grady, a planner working for Clarke Caton and Hintz, an architecture and planning firm hired to prepare the application.
