The Zoning Board will meet on Wednesday, June 3. The meeting begins at 7:30 p.m. and will also be held at the Municipal Building at 1001 Parsippany Blvd.

The board will continue its discussion on a controversial plan to construct a house of worship in the area of Baldwin and Troy roads.

The matter has been deliberated for more than three years. A host of opponents have resisted the erection of a temple, among them owners of historic homes in the area and businesses such as Baldwin Ventures. They say the the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) plan would erode their quality of life and bring noise and traffic to an already congested area.

On Thursday, June 13, the Parsippany-Troy Hills Board of Education will meet for a regular session at 7:30 p.m. at Parsippany Hills High School. An agenda is not yet available.
