29 years of Recognition

Princeton University attorneys threatened legal action against the Borough, if the Council were to pass an ordinance that specifies that the area around the Dinky train station - known as Lot 39 - can only be developed for transit purposes or retail related to transit. 

Princeton’s Borough Council and Township Committee plan to introduce the new zoning ordinance for Princeton University’s Arts and Transit project on May 3, with a final decision possible sometime in June. This was decided at a joint Borough-Township meeting last evening, although no formal action was taken. The meeting also sought to clarify questions from concerned residents and debate the process by which zoning ordinances and negotiation committees would be presented and approved.

Princeton University will abandon plans to locate a proposed Arts and Transit Neighborhood at the Dinky Station,  after failing to gain the approval of the Township and Borough at a joint meeting Monday night. Princeton University Vice-President Bob Durkee said that instead, the university will begin working on designs for the arts complex in locations that would not need zoning approval.
