Weather forecast:
1. Hillsborough Schools To Close June 2 For Snow Day Give-Back, Primary Election (patch.com) — Families in Hillsborough should mark their calendars, as all township schools will be closed on Tuesday, June 2, both to give back an unused snow day and to accommodate Primary Election voting at school buildings. District officials say the closure helps keep students safe while making it easier for residents to access polling locations, with normal classes resuming Wednesday, June 3.
2. Hillsborough Named 'Victory Town' On Washington-Rochambeau Revolutionary Route (patch.com) — Hillsborough is being honored as a Revolutionary War “Victory Town,” recognizing that American and French troops once marched through the community on their way to Yorktown. Township leaders accepted the designation, a commemorative marker, and Rotary Club funding for a new sign, highlighting Hillsborough’s role in U.S. history as the nation approaches its 250th anniversary.
3. Baseball: Ridge Eliminates Hillsborough, 7-0, in Somerset County Tournament Quarterfinal (tapinto.net) — Hillsborough High’s baseball team was shut out 7–0 by Ridge in Thursday’s Somerset County Tournament quarterfinals, managing just one hit over six innings. Ridge’s strong pitching and early scoring surge ended Hillsborough’s run and sent Ridge on to face Watchung Hills in Monday’s semifinal at TD Bank Park.
4. Insider NJ's Morning Intelligence Briefing: 5/14/2026 (insidernj.com) — Hillsborough gets a brief but important mention in a statewide political briefing, highlighting a warehouse proposal that would redevelop a previously damaged site in the township. The rest of the piece surveys redistricting talk in Trenton, local budgets, elections, cannabis decisions, and development fights across dozens of New Jersey towns, offering broader context for how other communities are handling growth, taxes, and land use.
