“We want to give people extra time to be able to contribute their opinions and ideas to this important effort,” Municipality of Princeton Senior Planner Justin Lesko said in a statement.

“In addition, we have made some upgrades to the survey website for ease of accessibility and overall improved experience based on feedback we have received from residents.”

Thousands of responses were collected over the summer in the first “Tell Us What You Want” Consumer Survey that focused on economic development and consumer preferences. More: Take This Survey To Let Officials Know What Businesses Princeton Needs

What is a master plan?

The Princeton Master Plan is a document adopted by the Planning Board, which sets policies for land use as envisioned by the municipality. This includes the type and location of new development and redevelopment, vehicles, pedestrians and bikes circulation, hazard mitigation and climate adaptation, conservation, preservation, utilities, public facilities and other elements of the built and natural environment. The master plan essentially articulates the vision for the community.
