Hunterdon County Town Hall: Week of Nov. 2, 2026

Good morning, Hunterdon County.

No Hunterdon governing bodies had posted agendas for the week of November 2 on the sites we follow as of Friday, and Tuesday is Election Day, so this week's brief looks mostly backward. Clinton put its data center ban hearing off to November 9 while moving on flood and stormwater rules and a sewer agreement for the Spruce Run affordable housing project, Clinton Township took up rewrites of its fire prevention and floodplain codes, and Readington moved two more affordable housing developments along Route 22. Here's the rundown.

Meetings ahead

Many governing bodies post their agendas late in the week before they meet. Check your town's page on the County Brief government hub before you go. What's already on the calendar:

Tuesday, November 3: Election Day. Polls are open 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Flemington-Raritan Regional School District voters decide a capital referendum. Read the TAPinto story.
Monday, November 9: Clinton Town Council. The public hearing on Ordinance #2026-19, which would prohibit data centers in every zoning district in town, was carried from October 28 to this meeting. Clinton Town page.
Later this month: North Hunterdon-Voorhees Regional Board of Education. A working session November 17 and a regular meeting November 24, both at 7:00 PM at the district administration office. North Hunterdon-Voorhees page.

Decisions behind

Clinton: flood rules, a Spruce Run sewer deal and the data center ban on hold

A public hearing on Ordinance #2026-18, repealing and replacing the town's flood damage prevention rules (Section 88-59).

Clinton Township: fire code and floodplain rewrites

The Township Council's October 28 agenda had Ordinance 1238-2026, repealing and replacing Chapter 133, "Fire Prevention," and Ordinance 1239-2026, amending Chapter 135, "Floodplain Management Regulations." The consent agenda included Resolutions 2026-224 and 2026-225, hiring a full-time laborer/truck driver and a full-time mechanic for the Department of Public Works; 2026-223, sending police Lieutenant Sean Ross to the FBI National Academy in Quantico, Virginia; 2026-217 and 2026-218, refunding third-quarter taxes for 100 percent disabled veterans; and 2026-219, canceling 2025 and 2026 taxes on Block 26, Lot 1. Clinton Township Council, October 28.

Readington: two more affordable housing developments on Route 22

At its last October meeting, the Township Committee passed one ordinance and three resolutions toward its fourth-round Mount Laurel obligation. It agreed to sell 504 Route 22 (Block 4, Lot 18), a 5.56-acre township property opposite the Spinning Wheel Diner once intended for veterans housing, for a 100 percent affordable development, potentially to Ulysses Development Group of Denver; authorized a memorandum of understanding with Ulysses; and designated the site a non-condemnation area in need of redevelopment. It also memorialized an agreement with Hyonis Properties for a 500-unit inclusionary development on 67 acres along Route 22 at the Clinton Township border. Committee member Adam Mueller voted against all four, objecting to the use of land bought with open space money; Mayor Juergen Huelsebusch said the parcel was never on the township's open space inventory.
