History vs Housing in Princeton

Well folks it looks like Princeton has joined the region's municipalities that has a history vs housing controversy. This time it is between the Institute for Advanced Study and the Princeton Battlefield Society. The Institute has 22 acres of land that is adjacent to the Battlefield and wants to use eight acres to build housing for faculty. Get this one, the Society does not dispute the Institute's claim to the land nor are they against the Institute building housing some place else.

The Battlefield Society is unable to purchase the land from the Institute but still wants to determine the legal owner's use of the land. The Society is unable the maintain the 85 acre battlefield for which it does have responsibilty, nor is it able to make improvements that would assist visitors in learning more about what occurred on the battlefield.

If the Institute prevails it will have its housing units and then plans to relinquish development rights to the land adjacent to the housing, which will increase by at least 10 acres the land around the battlefield to be conserved in perpetuity. Not a bad deal if the the Society does not get its way.

It comes too late to help the Delaware State students killed in Newark, NJ or other innocent victims of violence in the United States but if everybody just made plans to participate tonight then maybe we could save one innocent victim.
To participate you are asked to turn on your outside lights and sit outside and watch. Some neighbors have parties for planned for this night that included the entire block others will sit on steps or porch in silent unity with law-abiding folks across America.
Whether you party or sit in silence, it is time to be counted.
