• Door's Wide Open For Business As NJ Innovation Hub Opens In New Brunswick (patch.com) — New Brunswick residents are seeing a major boost to the city center as the New Jersey Innovation Hub officially opens across from the train station, anchoring the larger HELIX development. The 12‑story complex already hosts 21 biotech and tech startups, Rutgers researchers, and Johnson & Johnson offices, with plans for Nokia Bell Labs and a Tel Aviv University satellite campus to join, positioning New Brunswick as a key innovation and life-sciences hub.
• Man Of The House Uses Comedy, Star Power and a Powerful Message to Shine a Light on Male Victims of Domestic Violence (swaysuniverse.com) — A touring stage production about male victims of domestic violence is coming to New Brunswick on October 31, bringing a mix of comedy, music, and a serious message. The show, created by A'ndre Davis and featuring notable R&B performers, aims to spark conversations about emotional and psychological abuse that often go unrecognized, especially when men are the victims.
• Arrest made in connection with an Arson Investigation in Franklin Township (town.news) — A New Brunswick man has been arrested in connection with a Franklin Township apartment fire that displaced three families and killed two pets, though no residents were injured. New Brunswick firefighters helped battle the blaze, and county investigators say video evidence links the suspect's arrival and departure to the time the fire started, with multiple charges now filed.
