Update (Oct. 27): The scheduled City Council meeting was canceled, so no action was taken.

Three Public Improvement District (PID) items were listed on the agenda. Each item was intended to determine project costs and call public hearings. No assessments, levies, or bond issuances could occur without a formal council vote.

What’s next

Because the Oct. 27 council meeting was canceled, these PID resolutions are expected to return to a future council agenda.

The working calendar previously targeted Nov. 10, 2025 for the public hearing and bond pricing steps.

If approved in future meetings, these PID improvement areas could support hundreds of additional homes across three major developments, contributing to Princeton’s ongoing residential expansion.
