Hovnanian is Smarter Than the Government

Part of me would like to side with the people who want to limit development in the Shark River area, if only to limit the sprawl. On the other hand, if I owned the land, and the government was about to make my investment worthless, I'd probably be out there planting soybeans myself this weekend.

"TINTON FALLS — Plans by H. Hovnanian Industries to lease property it owns on Route 66 to a farmer who plans to sow soybeans could exempt the property from compliance with strict new development restrictions that take effect Monday.

H. Hovnanian, which has offices on Route 66 near the Garden State Parkway, has cleared a swath of land directly behind its office building and up to the banks of a Shark River tributary, and leased it to a farmer, said Ines Grimm, manager of the Freehold Soil Conservation District."
