Princeton Boosts Boom With Banks Motels And New Library
Princeton faces a wave of growth with two banks under construction at Ingleside Road and Stafford Drive and plans for a Mathena Center.

Other projects include a large new motel, a Lowe’s store, a Kroger, a steak house, and a state police detachment nearby. The county welcomes industry growth and a larger summer program for a Mercer County Children’s Drama Camp led by Lou Stoker and supported by local officials. Music in the Square returns with weekly noons on Mercer Street led by local groups and organizers.

War hero Brian Chontosh touted as model Marine
A writer lauds Marine Captain Brian Chontosh for heroism in Iraq. He describes Chontosh’s actions in a 2003 ambush, where he led assault, used multiple rifles and a grenade launcher to eliminate enemies, with 20 killed and others wounded or captured, earning the Navy Cross on May 6.
