1996 - 2001 COMMUNITY FACILITIES GOALS



Princeton is served by a comprehensive system of municipal services which include public utilities, police and fire protection, emergency services, the public library, public health, public school system and recreational and cultural facilities. The Community Facilities Element encourages the provision of convenient well-located community facilities; provides adequate municipal facilities for the efficient operation of the community; plans community facilities to serve the needs of all age groups; and, coordinates construction and installation of improvements as part of a comprehensive capital plan. In order to implement these strategies the following goals have been adopted.

I. Provide adequate municipal, educational and cultural facilities to meet the needs of Princeton residents.

II. Balance the provision of community facilities against the goals and policies of other elements of the community master plan and ensure that such facilities enhance the quality of life within the Princeton Community.

III. Create a sense of place distinctive to the Princeton community by enhancing public areas with art, creating a safe and pleasant pedestrian environment, and linking commercial, educational, and cultural activities.
