VISION STATEMENT
Princeton has a special sense of place and community. It is an educational, cultural and commercial center as well as the site of such world-renowned institutions as Princeton University and the Institute for Advanced Study. It is also home to a leading center for theological studies, two nationally acclaimed schools of music, and numerous prestigious public and private schools at the elementary and secondary level. It combines a rich mixture of educational, cultural and historic resources. Princeton is a lively college town with attractive shops and restaurants, as well as businesses and residences. Surrounding the town center are architecturally diverse, residential neighborhoods on tree-lined streets linked by bike paths and/or sidewalks to small scale suburban offices, shopping and service centers. Within these urban and suburban neighborhoods, residents vary widely in age, socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds. Princeton is remarkable for its scenic open spaces, parks, recreational facilities and rural settings. Tree lined two-lane roadways lead to surrounding residential areas, extensive new office centers, shopping malls, and major transportation arteries.
