EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- X-rated businesses might find a home in the swamps of Jersey.

This Bergen County town introduced an ordinance that would create an adult entertainment zone for strip clubs, massage parlors, porn stores and tattoo shops across from the Meadowlands Sports Complex.

Mayor James Cassella told The Record of Bergen County the ordinance is needed to prevent adult businesses from opening near schools and homes.

People who work in nearby businesses were surprised.

The town's Planning Board must sign off on the ordinance before submitting it to the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission.

It could take months before the town council brings the measure up for a final vote.
