Year 1938 Princeton Borough’s rapid public works push
In 1938 Princeton Borough expanded voting districts and pursued public works from a W P A grant to a new Community House. Plans included Thomson Hall additions, a temporary housing ordinance, and a joint authority with the Township. The year saw Easter events, Route 31 debates, and the Lake Lambert project shaping housing policy as schools opened with high enrollments. The town built infrastructure, formed planning boards, and prepared for a major bridge project.
