Commission hears liaison update on municipal projects, open‑space purchase and housing plans
Summary
Carrie Feuer reported on municipal developments including a March 20 job fair, CHOP groundbreaking next year, an October 2026 municipal building move, the township's purchase of roughly 50 acres for open space, progress on a landfill solar project and an active affordable housing plan; a state funding award to study Trenton Water Works was also noted.
Carrie Feuer provided the council/mayor liaison update at the Jan. 14 meeting of the Hamilton Township Environmental Commission, summarizing several municipal projects and planning efforts that intersect with environmental and land‑use planning.
Feuer told commissioners the township has scheduled a job fair for March 20, 2026, and that CHOP is slated to break ground next year. She said the municipal building relocation is on track for October 2026. Feuer reported that the township purchased roughly 50 acres on Old York Road to preserve as open space and that a solar project on the landfill is moving forward. She also said township staff are actively pursuing properties for affordable housing near the train station as part of the township's affordable housing plan. Finally, Feuer reported the state approved funding for a study into Trenton Water Works.
Commissioners did not take formal action on these items at the Jan. 14 meeting; Feuer indicated some items remain contingent on decisions by other officials (for example, the mayor said he will wait for the new governor before deciding on Climate Action Plan steps). The liaison update was recorded for informational purposes and for follow up as items progress through municipal staff and council processes.
What happens next: Feuer will present the EAC 2025 annual report and the commission's final budget to council in February; the commission will monitor the landfill solar project, open‑space stewardship planning, and the township's affordable housing property searches as they develop.
