possibly seven vacant residential properties on the south side of 
Somerset Street in Hopewell Borough - say the company has no immediate 
plans to sell the properties and is unconcerned with the possibility, 
being explored by the borough Planning Board, of rezoning.

...

At its last few meetings, the Planning Board has been holding public 
discussions of the 2007 Master Plan recommendation that the south side 
of Somerset Street be rezoned for commercial or industrial use. This
