The mall will be part of Luxury Point, which the developers have  
described as a $2 billion project that eventually will have 2,000  
apartments and townhomes, office space, hotels, restaurants and two  
marinas along the Raritan River waterfront. For the past two years

Industries manufactured paint pigments from 1935 to 1982.

Sayreville Economic and Redevelopment Agency, a group charged with
