The Hopewell
Township Environmental Commission was established in 1974.
The Environmental Commission has the power to conduct
research into the uses of open land areas of the township
and may coordinate the activities of official bodies organized
for similar purposes. It is charged with keeping an index
of all open areas, publicly or privately owned, including
open marsh lands, swamps and other wetlands, in order to
obtain information on the proper use of such areas. It may
recommend to the planning board of the township, plans and
programs for inclusion in a municipal master plan and also
make recommendations about the development and use of such
areas. The Environmental Commission may also, with the approval
of the Township
Committee acquire property
on behalf of the
Township.
The Commission consists of seven members who are appointed
by the Mayor for three year terms. The Mayor designates
one of the members as Chair.
Environmental Commission meetings are held the third Tuesday
of each month at 7:30 or 8:00 p.m. (check the Township Calendar) in the Hopewell Township Municipal Building
located at 201 Washington Crossing-Pennington Road.
