Princeton Officials Asked to Decide on Lytle Street Property by May 20

Property owner and developer Roman Barsky has asked officials to decide if Princeton will buy two lots on Lytle Street by May 20, the Princeton Packet reports.

Barsky, who is asking for about $575,000 for the property, said the process has already “been a very long time,” according to the report. “They have to make up their mind.”

Princeton Council meets twice in May, with the meeting closest to the deadline coming on May 18.

Officials have been trying to preserve a house on the property that was constructed in the 1870’s.

The hope was to repurpose the house for affordable housing, but Town Administrator Marc D. Dashield said that is not feasible, according to the report.
