The Princeton Bell
A fall day in the park.
Woodrow Wilson's House
(November 8, 2011) – Voters in the Borough and Township overwhelmingly approved the ballot measure to create a consolidated Princeton effective January 1, 2013. Results show the measure passing by 61.06% in the Borough (1,397 yes, 891 no) and 85.34% in the Township (3,870 yes, 665 no).
Under authority provided by New Jersey law, the governing bodies of Princeton Township and Princeton Borough created in 2010 a Joint Consolidation Study Commission to examine the feasibility and potential benefits of consolidating into a single municipality and sharing additional services. The Commission's final report and recommendations were issued in 2011.
The consolidation plan was developed by a ten-member Commission of Township and Borough representatives, with assistance from the Center for Governmental Research, a nonprofit management consulting organization with expertise in government management and municipal consolidation processes.
Although the Commission's plan has been finalized and approved by voters, the Commission encourages continued public engagement in this process. Please submit your comments, questions and other feedback by clicking here.
