Tracey and Jon Stewart's Colts Neck Farm Sanctuary Approved
Tracey and Jon Stewart's Colts Neck Farm Sanctuary Approved
http://patch.com/new-jersey/marlboro-coltsneck/tracey-jon-stewarts-colts-neck-farm-sanctuary-approved
COLTS NECK, NJ - Tracey Stewart, the wife of comedian Jon Stewart, had tears of happiness in her eyes Tuesday night after the Colts Neck Planning Board unanimously approved their application to open an animal sanctuary farm in Colts Neck.
Jon Stewart, now two years retired from "The Daily Show," just had one comment: "I'd like to know how much this is going to cost me," he joked, according to NJ.com. Both Jon and Tracey Stewart were present Tuesday night at the meeting, which was their final chance to get the board's approval of their dream to convert 45-acre Hockhockson Farm into a sanctuary for rescued farm animals and livestock that would otherwise have been slaughtered. Hockhockson Farm is located on Rt. 537 near Normandy Road in Colts Neck. The Stewarts plan to open the farm sanctuary in 2018.
Tracey and Jon Stewarts' plan must still be approved by the Monmouth County Planning Board and the state Department of Environmental Protection, but Tuesday night's approval was a pivotal landmark in their quest to open the animal sanctuary. As first reported by The Two River Times, the Stewarts bought Hockhockson Farm for $4 million last year. As previously reported by Patch, they hoped to open the animal sanctuary this year, but were stymied by noise concerns from neighbors and a slow-moving approval process from both Colts Neck Township and Monmouth County.
"It's one of those things like where after you give birth you forget about the pain. So right now I'm feeling really good and positive," Tracey Stewart told NJ.com Tuesday night.
