Borough Improvement League of Metuchen, and the Metuchen-Edison Historical Society WWeellccoommee ttoo MMeettuucchheenn A short guide to the Brainy Borough Compliments of the Metuchen Area Chamber of Commerce January 2020 Welcome! Living, working, and raising a family in Metuchen has given me an appreciation for all that our town has to offer. Our central location, active downtown, wonderful schools, historic neighborhoods, and a diverse and engaged community make it an ideal place to grow up or raise a family. But it is more than that; it is also a place that our seniors choose to stay after retirement, and where creative professionals come to be near cultural hubs. We’re not just a railroad town, but one surrounded by technology companies, universities, and medical centers. There is no one thing that has kept Metuchen a vibrant village for all these years, it is the many things we offer that is the source of both our strength and our enthusiasm for the future. I welcome you to our community and know that you will come to be a part of the ‘Brainy Borough’ just as much as its many lifelong residents are. -Jonathan Busch, Mayor Contents Animal Shelter ........................... 6 Houses of Worship ................... 14 Annual Events ........................... 20 Library ....................................... 10 Borough of Metuchen ................ 1 Local Resources .........

Borough of Metuchen Metuchen is administered under the Borough form of New Jersey municipal government, with a governing body consisting of a Mayor and six-member Borough Council elected at-large on a partisan basis as part of the November general election. The Mayor is elected to a four-year term of office, and the Council members are elected to serve three-year terms. Metuchen is included in the 6th Congressional District and is part of New Jersey's 18th State Legislative District. Metuchen is approximately 2.75 square miles in size with 5000 households and a population of just under 15,000. The borough is completely surrounded by Edison Township, a 32-square-mile township of more than 100,000 residents. From the center of Metuchen it is 17 miles to Newark, 25 miles to New York City, 30 miles to Sandy Hook, 40 miles to Trenton, and 70 miles to Philadelphia. The borough is easily accessed by a number of major roadways; the New Jersey Turnpike (I- 95), the Garden State Parkway, Route 287 (and 440), and US Route 1.

  • Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024
    Northeast Corridor Capital Investment Plan Fiscal Years 2020-2024 March 2019 Congress established the Northeast Corridor Commission to develop coordinated strategies for improving the Northeast’s core rail network in recognition of the inherent challenges of planning, financing, and implementing major infrastructure improvements that cross multiple jurisdictions. The expectation is that by coming together to take collective responsibility for the NEC, these disparate stakeholders will achieve a level of success that far exceeds the potential reach of any individual organization. The Commission is governed by a board comprised of one member from each of the NEC states (Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland) and the District of Columbia; four members from Amtrak; and five members from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). The Commission also includes non- voting representatives from freight railroads, states with connecting corridors and several commuter operators in the Region.

  • Township of Edison Master Plan
    EDISON MASTER PLAN INTRODUCTION 1.0 Introduction This Master Plan has been prepared in accordance with the requirements set forth in New Jersey Statutes Annotated 40:55D and under the direction of the Master Plan Advisory Committee. It is intended to provide a careful assessment of the existing use of land and serve as a guide for future growth and development in Edison. Edison last adopted a comprehensive Master Plan in 1989. A municipal master plan provides a vision for the future growth of a community. It analyzes statistical trends, problems and opportunities, and provides a methodology and offers recommendations to address those issues and opportunities. The Master Plan strives to examine the rate and nature of past and present development, the future development potential under existing zoning parameters and environmental constraints, and the capacity of existing infrastructure to serve projected growth. A Land Use Plan balancing Edison’s growth potential with its growth capacity through recommended changes to Land Use and Zoning Ordinance as well as a Future Land Use map has been provided. The Future Land Use plan specifically calls for anti-sprawl initiatives based on the design principles of New Urbanism. Numerous public meetings were held to elicit public comment and address public concern relative to land planning in Edison. The Master Plan Advisory Committee, Open Space Advisory Committee and Board of Education met on many separate occasions to discuss each individual Master Plan Element and enriched the planning process with their input. The professionals retained to prepare the Master Plan utilized this input to guide and develop the Plan.
