Between the Lines
We managed to sneak away from home and office the other
night to attend the 30th anniversary gala of the MSM Regional Council
at the Hyatt. Among the dozens of business leaders, government
officials,
and all-around power brokers we bumped into was Sam Hamill, the former
MSM president.
We reminded Hamill of his advice to U.S. 1 many years ago — that
we not get mired down in the nitty-gritty of municipal politics.
Hamill’s
memory of the advice was slightly different: He remembered telling
us not to ignore the municipalities but rather to keep the regional
perspective foremost in our mind.
Either way, the biggest fallout of the 1998 election from the
perspective
of the greater Princeton business community may have been the Hopewell
Township victory of two committee members who have been critical of
the Township’s planning for a new eight-mile sewer pipeline —
a critical element in the proposed 3.5 million-square-foot Merrill
Lynch development off Scotch Road. The question now is whether the
sewer line is headed the same way as Newt Gingrich — out of sight
and out of mind.
In MSM’s 1998 Resource Book, distributed at the dinner, has chapter
and verse on the planning sessions over the past year involving
Hopewell
Township, Mercer County, the Stony Brook-Millstone Watershed
Association,
as well as MSM. Whether you like it or not, Hopewell seems destined
for growth. We can only hope that the planning process associated
with the sewer line isn’t thrown out with the election bathwater.

Squibb gallery, the Forrestal, and Summit Bank, we are going to hope
to introduce one or two or more previously unheralded talents. Readers

you or someone you know has a fabulous oil or pastel or watercolor
