In a new sign of community opposition to warehouse sprawl, Mansfield Township in Burlington County has banned any more of the giant buildings beyond those already approved or under construction.

“The township committee of the Township of Mansfield finds that additional warehouse development should not be permitted in the township,” reads the ordinance approving the ban, finalized on March 2.

The measure appears to be the strongest move by any of New Jersey’s 564 municipalities to control a flood of warehouse development that opponents say chokes local roads with truck traffic, worsens air quality, and often locates the giant industrial buildings on previously undeveloped land.
