One Princeton; inactive as of 1997

DESCRIPTION

A grassroots group of concerned citizens of Princeton Borough

and Princeton Township whose goal was the consolidation of the

two municipalities into One Princeton.  The group stressed

those factors that already unite us: a common commitment to

protect the downtown, which anchors both communities and the

open space that enriches all; the fact that with 17 already-

consolidated agencies, there is little that still divides the two municipalities.  

Based on the careful research of the Consolidation Study

Commission, as well as statements made by both Mayors, One

Princeton considered the finances of the Borough to be fragile,

and that the future health of the Borough was at risk without

consolidation.  With consolidation, the group asserted, could

come improved  municipal services at less cost, more effective

local government, better use of volunteers, community-wide

decisions on using open space, and more effective finanancial

protection of the downtown.
