Overview: In a move to enhance municipal parks and pay down city debt, the Lambertville City Council adopted a resolution in support of a grant application to Hunterdon County’s open space preservation program for Hull Park on North Main Street. The grant, totaling approximately $418,000, represents half of the park’s appraised value and sparked debate over the flexibility of using these funds to reduce the city’s bond obligations.
Overview: The Lambertville City Council recently convened to discuss a range of issues affecting the community, with a particular focus on infrastructure improvements and financial planning. The meeting, which did not include a public comment period, was marked by the absence of Mayor Andrew J. Nowick. The most newsworthy topics included the implementation of new revenue sources such as the cannabis retail sales tax, the amendment of the lease agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, and the introduction of ordinances to improve local infrastructure and community safety.
