Hopewell Township, Mercer County, NJ - The Hopewell Township Committee is pleased to announce that in the litigation brought by Hopewell and Pennington Boroughs, the decision of the lower court was affirmed, fully upholding the Township's PILOT agreement with Lennar at Hopewell Parc. With this ruling, assuming the ruling is not appealed further, the Township can now move forward with providing up to $16.1 million in funding for critical improvements at Bear Tavern Elementary School.
"We are grateful that the courts have consistently upheld our position," said Mayor Courtney Peters-Manning. "This outcome allows us to deliver on our longstanding commitment to our schools and provide students with the permanent, modern classrooms they deserve."
The funding will eliminate the use of decades old trailers and create lasting improvements at Bear Tavern. The Hopewell Township Committee will continue to work with the Hopewell Valley Regional School District to move forward with this project.
