Supreme Court declines to hear case against Highlands Act

On June 28, the court denied the petition by nine property owners, including David Shope and Charles Shoop of Long Valley and Andrew and Lois Drysdale of Chester Township, seeking to overturn the Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act.
