The Hindu Temple and Cultural Center of USA has the Board of Adjustment go-ahead to expand, ending a five-year standoff on the project.

The Board of Adjustment unanimously approved a resolution outlining the conditions of the project at Route 202-206 and Old Farm Road during a meeting Tuesday night at the Somerset County Vocational & Technical School, a special location due to construction at the Bridgewater municipal complex.

During the discussion about the application, which only lasted about 30 minutes – far shorter than previous meetings on the matter, the board members and the temple’s attorney Frank Patrino discussed final details about the agreement. Then, each member approved it.

When the discussion about the application was complete, a temple member snapped a photo of the Board of Adjustment and took more photos of members outside the meeting.
