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.
