Additionally, upon completion, I will ask Council to sell Greenwood Avenue land to HTSD for $1 for a new school site.” I want to thank the Hamilton Council and HTSD for their partnership in moving this conceptual plan forward. “In 1930, Hamilton’s census was 27,121 we are more than three times that number in 2020 at over 92,000 and need a facility that can properly serve our residents and a much larger community. “The current municipal building, built in 1928, has served the Township well over the past nearly 100 years,” said Mayor Jeff Martin. As the property owner, the Township would lease half of the complex to the School District upon completion of construction. The complex would capitalize on environmental, economic, and workforce efficiencies resulting from bringing multiple Township and School District facilities under one roof. While the complex design has yet to be drafted, both entities agree that the facility would feature space for the community to have improved access to public meetings and events and provide an area for District and Township professionals to train and develop in technologically ready space.
The plan for a municipal complex would continue to foster decades of shared services in furtherance of the idea that the Township and District serve to benefit the Township and school communities and each other. While residents offered many great ideas, the suggestion of a joint municipal complex stood out. Looking to redevelop the property for public use, the Township had requested the community to provide input for the site.
The property, which is known to have been the former home of ShopRite, has been vacant for well over 17 years. In late 2020, Hamilton Township acquired the long-vacant property at 1750 Whitehorse-Mercerville Road. HAMILTON, NJ – Hamilton Township and Hamilton Township School District are pleased to announce a conceptual plan to construct and occupy a municipal complex that would bring the Township and School District offices together.
