The trucks must move by Aug. 15 for safety reasons in preparation for a redevelopment project.

The grease trucks must leave the College Avenue campus parking lot by Aug. 15, but officials said they won’t be leaving campus, nj.com reports.
Construction for the redevelopment of properties around the center of campus is set to begin in September, but officials with the New Brunswick Development Corporation (Devco) said trucks must leave the area by Aug. 15 for safety reasons, according to the report.
