We are a diverse, nonpartisan group of volunteers of Princeton Borough, Township and region. We are dedicated to protecting and enhancing our unique community and we share concerns about the directions future growth and development may take. We are wary of piecemeal, project-by-project development and, instead, seek broad community support for integrated solutions that balance the benefits of economic growth with the values of neighborhood identity, historic preservation, environmental sustainability, aesthetics and social equity. Through research, analysis, public meetings and other forums, we actively encourage respectful citizen dialogue that can bridge differences and create common community purpose.

HinDs Plaza

Princeton Future sent notices to all registered voters, held 33 in-home neighborhood meetings, a series of workshops and public meetings that led to the consensus behind the successful construction of the new public square next to the Princeton Public Library. It has been named in honor of Albert Hinds, a much-admired African-American leader of the community who was present and very much involved in the founding of Princeton Future. The new 500-car municipal garage behind the square is camouflaged by ground-floor retail, a restaurant and apartments for varying income levels above.
