A ballot question asked voters if they wanted to reinstate the Edison Open Space Trust Fund during the General Election on Nov. 2.
As of press time on Nov. 4, there were 10,663 “yes” votes, or 56.14%, and 8,332 “no” votes, or 43.86%.
The Open Space Trust Fund would enable the township to dedicate one cent per $100 of assessed value toward open space improvements. The average home is assessed for $180,600. The average homeowner would pay $18.06 per year.
Heller industrial Park would pay $15,000 per year. The top 20 taxpayers would pay a total of $115,000 per year, officials said.
The results reflect what has been posted online by the Middlesex County Clerk’s Office at this time.
The results of the election will remain unofficial until they are certified.
