A BETTER VISION:
Dense, Mixed-Use, Walkable, Transit-Oriented
at the Core of Trenton's Downtown.

At the intersection of South Broad and East Front Streets, we have an opportunity to realize a transformational vision for our downtown.  Scroll down for concept plans that envision mixed use, dense development which would offer building occupants amenities including access and views of MIll HIll Park, a short walk to shopping, the train station, and more.  
These plans were created for us by JKRP Architects. Many thanks to Richard Carroll and his team!

This is what is there now.

We must urge the Mayor and the Governor  to reconsider their plan.  
The vision presented here would move these state departments to the 100 block of East Front Street as part of a mixed-use development that would include residential and office uses with shared parking,  adjacent to Mill Hill Park.   There are likely other opportunities as well. Most importantly, any State Office Building development must:

• Prioritize and incorporate sustainable smart growth principles.  
• Follow the City of Trenton's Master Plan. 
• Encourage the use of mass transit
• Strive for density

 The future of downtown Trenton depends on it!

THE TIGHT TIMELINE

We need your support: financial, strategic, vocal!
