This has been a development long in the making, a proposed science and research center on Route 1 at the township’s border with Plainsboro — a proposal that meets the zoning agreed to by the Township Council and Princeton University back in 2003 as part of a swap of zoning for open space that met little opposition at the time.
On first blush, this development seems a good idea: Loads of tax revenue should be coming our way, while muhc of the impact should take place away from residential areas.
But it is unclear what the traffic impact maybe — whether Route 1 will grow worse, whether Ridge Road or Route 522 will be affected, whether Kingston might find itself deluged.
Kingston residents had some early concerns, but were assuaged by the donation of significant open space, property that is part of a green belt designed to protect the village from encroaching development.
We’ve received one letter about the project — opposed — but it seems too early to react. Let’s see what the final plan looks like before we make up our minds.
