Bedminster approves resolution backing county participation in New Jersey 250th commemoration
Summary
The township approved Resolution 202504 to support Revolution NJ and to authorize forming a local committee to plan Bedminster’s participation in New Jersey’s 250th anniversary commemorations; committee membership and a suggested 'Encampment View Park' site were discussed.
The Bedminster Township Committee on May 19 unanimously approved Resolution 202504 endorsing local support for county participation in New Jersey’s 250th anniversary commemoration efforts and authorizing the formation of a committee to develop a local plan.
Administrator Robin Ray told the committee the initiative encourages participation across New Jersey counties and historic sites; she said the resolution would allow the township to form a committee to plan and coordinate commemorative events. Committee members discussed potential membership for the ad‑hoc committee, including a suggested list of local participants and a proposed pocket park — referenced in the discussion as 'Encampment View Park' — as a potential site for a 2026 encampment event.
A roll call recorded affirmative votes from the committee and the resolution was approved for implementation. Committee members said they will work with the administrator to populate the committee and return with appointments at a future meeting.
The approval creates an implementation pathway for local planning of commemorative activities; specific event plans, membership and budgets were not finalized at the May 19 meeting.
