TWO TYPES OF GRANTS:

  1. The Business Zone Sign and Awning Grant Program can be considered by any business or property owner located in any of Fair Lawn’s business zones.
  2. The Sign and Awning Grant Program is available only to businesses located in one of Fair Lawn’s two Special Improvement Districts - River Road or Broadway.

2008 Housing Element
and Fair Share Plan (1987-2018) Borough of Fair Lawn

The NJ Fair Housing Act authorized the creation of COAH in the 1980s and instructed COAH to prepare rules. The Fair Housing Act was a consequence of the Mount Laurel litigation in which the Court determined that towns have an obligation to provide their fair share of affordable housing mainly because towns have been given the power to zone by the NJ Legislature. The Borough of Fair Lawn has adopted two previous 'Fair Share Plans' and in December adopted a third 'round' as required by statute. The attached report was a slide presentation made to the Borough Council by a representative of 'Taylor Design Group' , the Planning firm engaged by Fair Lawn to assist them in meeting the Borough's statutory obligations.
