Public To Get A Chance To Participate In Princeton Master Plan Update

PRINCETON, NJ – If you want to have a say in the Municipality’s Master Plan update, remember to be at the Public Library on Wednesday at 4 p.m.

Princeton Officials will be hosting an open house and the public will have an opportunity to listen to ideas, ask questions, and contribute for three hours.

Attendees can stop by any time during the three hours to learn about the Master Plan process, and highlights from the Community Visioning public survey.

The Municipality of Princeton Planning Department and members of the Master Plan Steering Committee will be there to answer questions, and there will be translators for Spanish and Chinese speakers.

“We invite all in the Princeton community to drop in, respond to some visual prompts, and share feedback and ideas about future land use, mobility, conservation and economic vitality,” Louise Wilson, Princeton Planning Board Chair and member of the Princeton Master Plan Steering Committee, said in a media statement.

Nearly 5,000 responses were collected from the two public surveys this past summer and fall. Work will begin over the next seven to nine months, with a lot of opportunity for public input, said Tim Quinn, vice chair of the Planning Board and chair of the Master Plan Subcommittee, which will recommend the Master Plan update to the full board.

“We want all voices to be heard. Robust civic involvement is crucially important in formulating overarching Master Plan goals and principles, and preparing for detailed decision-making and specific recommendations regarding land use, mobility, conservation and preservation,” Quinn said.
