City Council proposes public tours for Trenton's City Hall renovation project

The Trenton City Council convened on May 6, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including community engagement initiatives and appointments to advisory boards. The meeting began with a proposal to offer tours of the city hall, inspired by similar initiatives in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A council member suggested that once renovations are complete, the city could host tours for residents, particularly school children, to enhance civic knowledge and appreciation of local history.

Following this discussion, the council moved to approve the consent agenda, which included multiple resolutions. The motion was unanimously passed after a roll call vote, indicating strong support among council members.

The meeting then progressed to the appointment of Joseph Antonello to the Bridal Welfare Advisory Board. Antonello was present and introduced himself, expressing his willingness to serve in this capacity. The council proceeded to vote on his appointment, which is set for a term from May 1, 2025, to April 30, 2028.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the council's commitment to community engagement and effective governance through the approval of resolutions and appointments. The next steps include implementing the proposed city hall tours and continuing to support advisory board initiatives.
