Small Town. Big Heart.
Boonton is one of Morris County’s most vibrant and naturally beautiful communities. Boonton’s active downtown and scenic open spaces such as Grace Lord Park are highly valued by residents and visitors alike. Through our work, Topology helps the Planning Board balance desires for growth, historic preservation, economic development, and open space. We assist the Town through all steps of the Site Plan approval process, reviewing applications for completeness; providing commentary, analysis, and expert testimony to assist in Board deliberations, and performing resolution compliance reviews for approved applications.
