A 175-year-old farm in Cranbury will remain under the Henry family's ownership after five months of fighting back against eminent domain.
The town of Cranbury had planned to seize the property to meet an affordable housing mandate.
Gov. Phil Murphy released a statement saying the agreement ensures the farm stays with the family, adding that New Jersey "will always protect its farmers and farmland."
