Township Committee next will consider whether to go along with Planning Board's partial endorsement of plan.
Eighteen months of hearings on Millington Quarry's plan for "rehabilitating" its property on Stonehouse Road to become usable residential property after quarrying ceases ended on Tuesday night with the Planning Board's partial endorsement for the proposal. The plan calls for the creation of a 50-acre lake and a meadow area that someday could be turned into a residential neighborhood. The next step is for the quarry plan to go before the Bernards Township Committee, where the governing body can go along with the Planning Board's recommendation, reject the plan or set its own conditions.

Tuesday's public hearing before Bernards Planning Board set to include an update from witness for township.
The public hearing on the Millington Quarry's plan for rehabilitating the longtime quarrying operation off Stone House Road so it can be used for something else after the quarry closes completely — possibly for residential development — is into its ninth month before the township Planning Board at the board's 7:30 p.m. meeting on Tuesday.
