PRESERVE Holmdel filed a petition with over 700 names to the township on September 6, 2016 requesting a referendum to have the residents of Holmdel decide on the expansion of Cross Farm. The initial petition was denied as insufficiently notarized. The re-notarized petition was accepted by the township clerk, who qualified 624 signers on October 11, 2016:
"Since I am satisfied as to the truthfulness and genuineness of the signatures, I have determined that the Amended Petition may now be certified as sufficient to proceed to referendum."
