The EDC is specifying that any development plan include related commercial components to sustain it. The site, located in the Charleston section of the borough on the southwest shore at the intersection of Arthur Kill Road and Veterans Road West and bounded by Englewood Avenue to the north, is zoned for light manufacturing. Such zoning which would permit wholesale service facilities and certain types of community facilities.

According to EDC president Andrew M. Alper, the EDC is looking for proposals that will support the residential base and contribute to the overall economy of the area. "Corresponding commercial and retail opportunities must not be overlooked if a proposed project is to be financially feasible and truly successful."

The EDC would like to see activities or events not currently available such as holiday-themed events like pumpkin picking or seasonal entertainment geared to children and families.
