Separate an application from a decision
The January 13, 2026 agenda lists application 24-029-ZB for Rockland APV Bridgewater Energy at 760 East Main Street. It describes subdivision and site-plan work for a battery facility on county-related land, and marks the item as scheduling only, not a hearing.
That document should not be used as proof of approval. Ask for the latest resolution, conditions and any later amendments if someone cites the project. The township’s decision-notice archive is another place to look, but an absent search result does not settle the case status.

Your property may have a different history
A maintenance yard is a different starting point from a farm, home-adjacent lot or undeveloped parcel. Tell us the current use and any existing approvals or tenants. Share information about earlier uses if you have it.
Ask the township how the proposed battery use would be classified on your land and what approvals the actual layout requires. A county-owned site in a public record does not create the same rights on a private parcel.
Describe the part you could make available
Include the block and lot from your tax record if available. Explain whether the whole property or only a portion could be considered. Mark entrances, buildings, parking and any future development area you want to keep.
If a developer proposes a subdivision, ask what changes it would make to ownership, access and the rest of the property. Ask for a map before discussing a payment as though it applies only to the equipment area.
Want to ask about your land?
Send the location and what you know. You don’t need a project plan.
Tell us about your landCheck the utility for the actual parcel
Use the electric delivery utility shown on a bill if known. If there is no service, say that. Ask for a proposed connection point, the route to it and an explanation of both charging and discharging.
The PSE&G New Jersey guide may be useful if that is the relevant utility. Do not assume the whole township is covered by a single resource or treat a generation map as a complete battery connection approval.
Ask what a delayed hearing means for your option
A developer may need time for plans, studies and approvals. Ask how much time the option reserves, what you are paid during it and whether extensions are automatic. Find out what happens if the application changes or the project stops.
For a lease, ask when payments begin and who handles removal. Compare the rights reserved, access requirements and obligations along with the annual number. A public hearing schedule is not a construction or payment guarantee.
Send the location and what you want to preserve
Contact details and the property location are enough for an initial inquiry. Add the block, lot, utility and approximate available area if known. There is no need to choose an electrical project size.
Mention any existing proposal and the documents you have. Tell Sunland what questions you want answered before considering an agreement. Sending the form does not commit you to a sale or lease.
Questions landowners ask
Does a board agenda prove approval?
No. The cited agenda identifies an application and scheduling status. Read the actual decision and any later changes.
Do county-owned and private properties have the same position?
Do not assume so. Ownership, prior use, zoning and the proposal can differ.
Can I ask about part of a business property?
Yes. Explain the area available and the parking, access and expansion space you need to retain.
