Historic Preservation Committee
The Historic Preservation Committee was formed in January 2008 and is charged with exploring steps to strengthen Metuchen’s commitment to historic preservation.
The Committee's goals are to:
- develop public education on the benefits of historic preservation,
- honor Metuchen’s historic resources by increasing the number of structures in town listed on the New Jersey and National Registers of Historic Places, and
- explore the development of a Metuchen Historic Preservation Ordinance to formally recognize and protect the town’s distinctive historic and architectural character.
Meetings: 4th Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is no meeting in November 2024. The December 2024 meeting will be held on December 5.
Council Liaison: Tyler Kandel
