• Bridgewater moves to end health benefits for future elected officials (mycentraljersey.com) — Piscataway stands out in Middlesex County for providing taxpayer‑funded health insurance to four elected officials, part of a small group of officeholders statewide who still receive such benefits. As nearby towns like Bridgewater move to end coverage for future officials, this report highlights how much municipalities, including Piscataway, are spending and could fuel local debate over whether those perks should continue.
• HORIBA Expands Customer-Focused Solutions with New East Coast Analytical Solution Plaza (genengnews.com) — HORIBA has opened a new 15,000‑square‑foot Analytical Solution Plaza inside its existing Piscataway facility, creating a flexible lab space where local and regional customers can collaborate directly with company scientists. The site, which employs about 200 people, will focus heavily on life science and biopharma projects, potentially strengthening Piscataway's role in the tri‑state biopharma corridor and attracting more specialized work to the area.
• Rutgers Football versus Maryland Game Time Announced (on3.com) — Rutgers' upcoming matchup at Maryland on October 17 now has a 12:30 p.m. kickoff on BTN, and the rest of the 2026 schedule includes several key home games at SHI Stadium in Piscataway. Local fans can start planning for Halloween versus Michigan, mid‑November showdowns with Nebraska and Michigan State, and a fall packed with Big Ten football close to home.
