Princeton Community Input Sought for Westminster Choir College Campus Planning

PRINCETON, NJ - The Municipality of Princeton has launched a community engagement initiative to gather public input on the future development of the Westminster Choir College campus.

Planning consultant Topology has been retained to lead this visioning process and is actively seeking resident perspectives to help shape the direction of this significant community asset.

Princeton is now the official owner of the historic 23-acre property formerly used by Westminster Choir College, located in the center of town, the Municipality said Wednesday.

Although the property has been the subject of lawsuits regarding its legal ownership, the Municipality’s acquisition through condemnation is absolute, and eliminates any and all claims, restrictions, or encroachments by any other party over the property, officials had said.

Residents will have an opportunity to share their ideas and vision for the campus during Ciclovia on Sunday. Topology representatives will be stationed along Walnut Lane between Hamilton Avenue and Guyot Avenue from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., ready to engage with community members about their hopes and ideas for the site's future.

The timing coincides with the popular Ciclovia event, which temporarily closes streets to vehicle traffic and creates space for bikers, skateboarders, rollerbladers, and scooters. This setting provides an ideal opportunity for informal, accessible community dialogue about the campus planning process.
