The Planned Board finalized preliminary and final major site plan approval Tuesday night for an expansion of Quality Auto Body at 810 New Brunswick Ave. (Block 282, Lot 1.021).

A 22,000-square-foot, 26-bay facility would rise to complement the current facility across the street at 811 New Brunswick Ave. The business, which has been in Rahway since 1978 and handles high-end cars like Ashton Martins, will leave space on Elston Avenue once the lease expires.

I’ll be running a 5K on Saturday morning at Rahway River Park with some friends. We didn’t whip up any Rahway Rising team shirts in time so you’ll just have to recognize us by my devastatingly handsome good looks (or just look for the guy getting dragged across the finish line). We can all celebrate the one-year anniversary of the blog — thanks to all for reading and helping out in various ways the past year!
