FOPF sees room for hope based on the comments made by Mendham Township Mayor  Diana Orban-Brown.  In her address at the January 3, 2017 Reorganization meeting of the Mendham Township Committee, newly sworn-in mayor Diana Orban-Brown stated with regard to Pitney Farm:

“I think it is fair to say that everyone would have liked to have this resolved years ago.  But it is important that when feelings are strong and run-in so many different directions about a subject, all avenues must be explored.  The goal is to achieve the best possible solution – the win-win.  We shortly will have in our hands an appraisal and an engineering study consistent with current zoning, and this Township Committee will be making decisions that will put this situation to bed once and for all.”
