Q&A with township mayor David Chait
inteRview By Joe eManski
David Chait, who is serving his second term on the Hopewell Township, has served since the start of 2026 as mayor of the township for the first time.
Chait, 41, spent last year as deputy mayor to Courtney Peters-Manning, who was his running mate in the 2025 township committee elections. Both won re-election and are beginning new three-year terms this year.
Chait grew up in Edison and attended Edison public schools before heading to Columbia University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and later, a master’s degree in business administration. His mother was a special education teacher in the Monroe school district for 30 years. His father owned a video store, Cameo Video, with Chait’s grandfather during the early years of VHS video rental. Chait says that was when he first became passionate about small business.
Today, in addition to serving as mayor, Chait is founder and CEO of Travefy, a subscription software business with more than 40,000 travel adviser customers around the world. Its customers are predominantly “solopreneurs” and small businesses, Chait says. Travefy has
an office in Hopewell Township.
Chait started his career as a consultant at McKinsey and Company, going on to serve in the Obama administration as senior policy adviser to Karen Mills, the Cabinet-level administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration.
“I walked away with the entrepreneurial bug, and started Travefy soon after, while in business school,” Chait says.
Chait’s wife, Amanda, has a degree in historic preservation and has worked both public and private sector jobs as an architectural historian and preservationist. She’s currently a full-time mom to daughters Julia (10) and Sally (7), who are 5th and 2nd graders at Bear Tavern Elementary. The family also has two goldendoodles, Lincoln and Nash.
HE: Why did you decide to make Hopewell Township your home?
David Chait: It’s funny how little decisions in life compound into big ones. We moved back East from Lincoln, Nebraska with a baby and dog in tow, landed in Princeton Junction, and very quickly started looking for the perfect place to raise our family. Nothing came close to Hopewell Township.

A new government structure for Hopewell Township? coMMuNitY
By John haRt anD vanessa sanDoM
As America marks 250 years since Washington’s daring crossing of the Delaware River, Hopewell Township has a chance to chart a new course of its own. Our history was built on courage and change. Our future demands the same. We’re coming together across the political spectrum to update and strengthen Hopewell Township’s government for the challenges ahead. Together, we are proposing a new form of local government: one with a directly elected mayor and an expanded council to better reflect and represent our Township’s diverse communities.
Many voices. One township
Six at-large council members plus one elected mayor with staggered terms can better ensure equitable representation for all constituents: from farmers in the Sourlands to families along Scotch Road, from neighbors at Washington Crossing
Express Hopewell
to friends in Brandon Farms, and everyone else throughout our 58-squaremile valley.
Professional leadership for a growing community
Hopewell Township now manages a substantial, complex and growing budget and increasingly sophisticated land-use matters. Our proposal moves to a council-manager system, appointing a professional, nonpartisan township manager to add continuity and expertise to running day-to-day operations—so our elected leaders can focus on vision, accountability, and representation.
The Journey Starts Now.
In the coming weeks, our committee of petitioners will be out with clipboards. They need signatures to put this proposed change to a vote on the November 2026 ballot. Between now and then, we’ll continue the community

Passing the torch
Inspired by George Washington’s twoterm presidency, we support term limits to keep power with the people. To that end, if this proposal passes in November 2026, we will turn our attention to term limits for our municipal elected officials.
Reasonable term limits help ensure a steady flow of new perspectives and energy, keeping our governing body responsive, creative, and focused on serving all residents.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, George Washington charted a new course right here in our Valley. In 2026, let’s do it again. Visit chartnewcourse.org to join us.

amazing restaurants. Everything we wanted was right here.
HE: Why did you decide to get into elected politics?
DC: Getting into township elected politics wasn’t a single decision, but a series of smaller ones. I’ve always believed in service and giving back, and from the moment we moved in I was involved through volunteerism, including serving on the planning board.
In 2022, when former Mayor Kristin McLaughlin was elected as a county commissioner, I raised my hand for the vacant seat and was honored to be appointed. I loved the ability to drive real impact, chose to run for a full term, and am now in my second elected term and fifth year on the township committee.
I had a strong baseline as a planning board member, local parent, and engaged resident. That said, no one can ever be fully prepared, and I learned so much in those earliest days from my colleagues and the incredible township staff.
Five years in, that knowledge only compounds, and my ability to support our residents today is so much greater than when I started.
HE: How has the experience been so far?
DC: While there have of course been many surprising as an elected official, the core of my expectations holds true: residents look to their local government for help with issues big and small, and that’s what we’re here for every day.
Throughout my time on the committee, I have served as liaison to Public Works, Affordable Housing, Tourism and Economic Development, the Youth Advisory Board, and Communications, with Administration and Legal added in my role as mayor.
All of these roles are incredibly special to me, but I want to take this opportunity to call out our Public Works team. They are unsung heroes who keep our roads safe, our outdoor spaces running, and so much more. The township literally would not function without them, and after a winter of seemingly endless storms, my gratitude for them is enormous.
HE: What are some of your proudest moments since joing the township committee?
DC: There’s so much I’m proud of. Finances are always our most
pressing priority. In an environment of rising costs and reduced state aid, I’m proud that we delivered a decrease in the municipal tax rate last year and have a strong 2026 budget coming in April, all while maintaining quality services, adding staffing in Public Works, Health, and Police and supporting our fire district.
Transparency has also been a priority, from fully hybrid committee meetings to quarterly “Town Crier” mailings, a monthly email newsletter, and more regular press releases.
And day-to-day issues matter just as much. I’m proud of real progress on road safety including new stop signs along Scotch Road, the new light at Ingleside and Route 31, and our No-Knock Ordinance. We’re here for those day-to-day issues. No phone call or email goes unanswered and resident service is at the core of what we do.
HE: Why is now the right time for you to step into the role as mayor?
DC: After four years on the committee, including a term as deputy mayor, I’ve built the experience and relationships that make me more Hopewell

Capital Health Welcomes Dozens of Area HIGH SCHOOLERS FOR A FUTURE YOUNG PROFESSIONALS CAREER DAY
Capital Health recently welcomed 38 students from the Foundation Academy High School in Trenton, New Jersey to Capital Health Medical Center – Hopewell for a Future Young Professionals Career Day. Students had the opportunity to explore careers in health care and interact with Capital Health representatives from nearly a dozen departments. The event was hosted by the Capital Health Young Professionals Committee and held in conjunction with the school’s Health Care Week, part of its Career Exploration Month in February.
Capital Health President and CEO Al Maghazehe joined the group for lunch, offering students the chance to connect directly with leadership.
“Part of Capital Health’s commitment to our community is supporting our young people,” said Al Maghazehe, President and CEO of Capital Health. “Health care offers many opportunities for meaningful careers, and it’s my hope that we can help young people in the communities we serve learn about the many possibilities available to them in health care, including at Capital Health. This event was especially meaningful because it was planned by our Young Professionals Committee. Their enthusiasm for sharing their knowledge and excitement about careers in health care is inspiring and gives me great hope for the future of leadership here at Capital Health.”
“Experiences like this help make the future feel real for our scholars,” said Nwasha Edu, Senior Manager of Workforce at Foundation Academy Collegiate. “By connecting directly with professionals across so many areas of health care, students are able to see how their interests, classroom learning, and personal goals can translate into meaningful, family-sustaining careers. We’re grateful to Capital Health and their Young Professionals for opening their doors, sharing their journeys, and investing in the next generation of health care leaders.”
During their visit, students explored the wide range of career pathways available within the health care industry and learned how classroom learning translates into real world roles in patient care, administration, hospital operations, and more.
Students participated in interactive sessions in a “round robin” format with Capital Health employees from various departments including Radiology, Nursing, Marketing and Public Relations,
Risk Management, Pharmacy, Food and Nutrition Services, Maintenance and Facilities, Medical Administration, Information Technology, Rehabilitation, and Emergency Medical Services. Department representatives answered student questions and provided educational materials about potential future careers. Students were also given the opportunity to tour Capital Health’s Mobile Simulation Lab, gaining hands on insight into a patient care experience.
Through conversations and behind the scenes exposure, students learned about the educational requirements for a wide range of roles that support the high-quality care at Capital Health.

effective than ever. I’m beyond grateful and humbled by my colleagues’ vote of confidence to serve as mayor this year.
HE: What would you say about the level of community engagement in Hopewell Township?
DC: Community engagement in the township runs deep. From our 99 incredible volunteers on commissions and committees to residents involved with nonprofits and civic organizations across the Valley, to those who come to meetings or reach out with questions and concerns, the engagement is everywhere.
I love that. Our residents care, and that drives real conversation as we all work toward continuously improving life across the Township.
HE: How is the current relationship between the township and the boroughs, especially given the recent lawsuits and disagreement about the PILOT?
DC: Three courts, culminating in the New Jersey Supreme Court, have upheld the legality of Hopewell Township’s PILOT agreement under our third-round affordable housing obligation. While the litigation brought on by the boroughs created unnecessary cost and uncertainty for township residents, we are thrilled we can now move forward with our $16.1 million commitment to Bear Tavern Elemen-
tary School.
That aside, my focus is always on building bridges in service of outcomes that support township residents. We have positive, ongoing relationships with our neighbors, especially around shared services, which are one of the most effective ways to stretch taxpayer dollars.
During my time on the committee, we have supported existing partnerships such as police with Hopewell Borough and Valley Senior Services with both boroughs, while also creating new ones including Health and Animal Control.
HE: What is the latest update on the community center?
DC: Designs for the senior and community center were shared publicly in December at a township committee meeting, and work continues with key stakeholders like the YMCA on budget, funding, construction and next steps.
HE: Let’s talk about affordable housing. Home prices have risen to a point where Hopewell Township is priced out of the range of all but the most affluent.
DC: I am a strong supporter of affordable housing and our moral obligation to support affordability across New Jersey. And while I also believe the state’s process, timelines, and unfunded nature have real flaws, inaction would have exposed our residents to builder’s rem-
edy lawsuits, removing local control and leading to far more development.
With extensions, credits and targeted projects, we’ll meet our 4th Round obligation with far fewer new homes than previous rounds. We fought for the best outcome possible, and I’m proud of the result.
HE: Is Hopewell Township still a place that welcomes young families?
As a resident with a young family, I can say with full confidence there is no place more welcoming or better to raise a family than Hopewell Township. Great schools, countless parks, vibrant youth sports and activities, and a thriving local economy that brings in jobs and new families. It really does have it all.
HE: What are some projects you are most looking forward to seeing come to fruition in 2026 as mayor?
DC: 2026 is a genuinely exciting year
for the township and our entire community. As our nation celebrates its 250th anniversary, we are reminded that Hopewell Township played a pivotal role in our country’s founding.
We’re working with partners across the region to mark the moment with events throughout the year, supporting local businesses through things like a Restaurant Week this April, adding long-term community assets like a Pavilion at Woolsey Park, and even creating fun mementos like challenge coins.
This all builds on a personal passion for economic development and supporting our incredible main street businesses. And of course, delivering a responsible budget that provides strong services and continued investment is always a core focus and truly the most important thing we do. We’re thrilled to formally introduce it in April.
Arts Council to reopen historic borough theater
After several years in the dark, the lights are coming back on in the heart of Hopewell.
The Hopewell Valley Arts Council is making plans to open the Hopewell Valley Stage, formerly the Hopewell Theater, at 5 S. Greenwood Ave. It is the intention of the arts council that the historic venue will once again serve as a home for the arts.
Thanks to a foundational grant from the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation, Hopewell Valley Stage will open for concerts, theater productions, film screenings, art workshops, and community talks.
It will also house the administrative offices of the Hopewell Valley Arts Council.
“We’re honored to breathe new life into this iconic space,” said Carol Lipson, executive director of the Hopewell Valley Arts Council. “Theater, music, art, and a place to gather aren’t luxuries—they’re vital to a thriving, connected community. This reopening restores a space for people from across Hopewell Valley to come
together to be moved and inspired.”
Hopewell Valley Stage will also be available for rent by nonprofit organizations and commercial partners, with the goal of ensuring that it remains an active and accessible space for all.
While the support of the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation made reopening possible, the arts council says the venue’s success will depend on the ongoing support of the community — through donations and attendance at ticketed events.
“We’re excited to gather support and feedback from our neighbors during our soft launch,” said Maeli Goren-Wilson, newly appointed theater manager of Hopewell Valley Stage. “We’ll test out what types of events and offerings speak most to our community and refine our vision for success. We can’t wait to welcome artists and audiences to the Stage!”
The Arts Council will host an open house on Saturday April 18 from 2 to 5 p.m. featuring live music and tours of the venue. The box office will be open for visitors to purchase tickets to upcoming events. Web: hvartscouncil.org.

endeavors, and the Delaware Valley Chapter is proud to recognize him.”
It capped a Hopewell-centric evening, as Timberlane Middle School 8th-grader Brady Rowan earned the Little Scholar Award that goes to a youth player who distinguishes himself on the field and in the classroom.
Asked how he felt about being named the top scholar-athlete, Helmrich said, “I was very surprised, but I worked really hard to try and get this reputation in my community and in the classroom and on the field. To be honored like this is really special.”
Helmrich did not begin playing football until his freshman year, and knew that he would be behind other classmates who had been in the game for a while. But he praised Dave Caldwell and his staff for how they helped incorporate him.
seasons the Bulldogs went 17-4. He also aided the swim team to a strong season this past winter, and played lacrosse in the spring until an injury steered him onto the golf course.
Caldwell was not surprised to see his player get the big award.
“It’s just a reflection of all the work he’s put in, a reflection of his family,” the coach said. “He’s a leader. He leads by example. He can lead from the front, lead from behind, push people along or pull them ahead and encourage them.”
Helmrich has a weighted GPA of 4.5, taking six Advanced Placement courses and a variety of honors courses. He volunteers for Special Olympics New Jersey Swimming and Swim America, and has taken heed to the advice of his mom, Jen, a nurse at the Hun School, and his dad, Rob, a pediatrician at Princeton Nassau Pediatrics.
“It can be pretty tough when we have such a great program with so many kids coming into the program very experienced,” Helmrich said. “The coaches are amazing, they help you to feel like even if it’s your first year of football, it doesn’t feel that way as a freshman in our program. Coach Caldwell has been so important with how I am as a person and player.”
As a player, Helmrich excelled at tight end and H-back, and in his two varsity
“Both my parents work in the medical field, so these ideas of hard work and caring for others is what I’ve been raised on,” Helmrich said. “It’s been very prominent in our household since I’ve been little. We have a lot of high expectations academically, and as a member of the community. Being in a household that pushes you like that prepares you so much for the future.”
Matt is president of Hopewell’s National Honor Society and Unified Club and co-president of Turn2. He’s a mem-
ber of Math, Social Studies and Spanish National Honor Society Leadership, and belongs to Best Buddies Leadership, Service Learning Pathway, Leadership Corp, Athletic Council, and DECA.
His awards include Pillar of Character, Swim and Golf Coaches Award for Character, Seal of Biliteracy, AP Scholar with Honor, two-time Student of the Month, National Spanish Award and Sportsman of the Month.
“He’s just a phenomenal kid,” Caldwell said. “Football is important during the season but he did everything off he field that he needs to do in the classroom. Even in the community he started some organizations like the Best Buddy program, where our athletes reach out to kids with disabilities to become their best buddies. He was a good football player and his future is bright.”
other people won’t. That’s beneficial to who I am and how I play on the field.”
Sitting several seats down from Helmrich at the dais was Rowan, a nine-year member of the Hopewell Valley Youth Football & Cheer Association.
“This means a lot,” he said of his Little Scholar award. “My parents have always instilled in me good morals that hard work pays off. I think this is a full circle moment.”
Helmrich is unsure where he will apply his scholarship money, as he is waiting for replies from several schools. He has been accepted to the University of Miami and is considering that. He will likely major in business but not box himself into one aspect of it.
Aside from his parents and Caldwell, Helmrich considers his grandfather, a church deacon, and his brother as other role models, along with his many teammates along the way.
“My grandfather works hard but makes time for family,” Helmrich said. “My brother was a senior when I was freshman. He was also a prominent member in the community, a good student. He laid the blueprint for me. That was who I want to be and now I have a great idea how to get there.
“My teammates are some of my best friends. I’ve been playing with them all my life, whether it was rec baseball, football. Your closest friends hold you accountable and they’re really not afraid to say things
Rowan helped his team to the West Jersey Youth Football League championship game this past fall, and was named a permanent captain consistently through the years. His dedication was such, that he missed just one practice in his entire career, due to the flu.
“I love Brady,” Caldwell said. “He’s been coming to my youth camp. His brother Andrew was a really good guard for us, and his dad played at Princeton. The Rowan family are staples in the community in youth football. I’m excited about Brady coming up.”
So is Rowan, who was inspired by the scholar-leader-athletes around him.
“Hopewell all the way!” he said. “When I look at these guys; that’s where I see myself in four years.”
Whether or not he plays, he will be in college as a student if he continues the academic trek climb he has navigated. Rowan took honors and advanced placement courses at Timberlane, averaging all As and one B-plus in seventh grade and doing the same in eighth grade.
He has become an expert in budgeting his time.
“Every day I probably put two hours into homework, making sure everything’s right. It’s not athlete-student, it’s student-athlete. The student part always comes first,” he said.
Something Helmrich and Rowan know all about.

Uncertainty clouds long-term ETS redevelopment plans
Hopewell Township recently managed to trim its Fourth Round Housing Plan by 27%, reducing the number of new units. Across the border in Lawrence Township, however, plans for the Educational Testing Service campus could eventually bring up to 800 homes, and residents are only now beginning to take notice.
A standing-room-only crowd filled the Lawrence Township Planning Board meeting on March 16, as residents responded to what many see as an overlooked element of the township’s housing plan. The focus is the ETS campus, located near the borders of Princeton and Hopewell Township.
While the site was included in the township’s June 2025 plan, it initially drew little public attention. Now, with potential amendments under discussion, concerns have intensified, even though no formal development proposals have been submitted. Changes remain years away.
Much of the concern centers on the
scale of what could be built. Planning documents outline the potential housing, retail and office space on more than 75 acres of ETS property. Many residents fear that the level of density would significantly alter the character of the area.
Environmental considerations are also top of mind. Portions of the property include streams, wetlands and floodprone areas which raises questions about how future development would manage stormwater runoff and protect sensitive ecosystems. Residents also worry about whether existing infrastructure, such as Rosedale Road and nearby intersections, could support this level of growth.
Township officials note that no cumulative traffic or other impact studies have been conducted, because without a formal proposal, there is nothing specific to evaluate.
For decades, ETS was widely regarded as an ideal corporate neighbor. Anchored by its contract with the College Board to administer the SAT, the nonprofit built a campus off Rosedale Road complete with walking trails, water features, and the Chauncey Conference Center. ETS supported local causes, hosted educational events, and helped shape amenities like the
Lawrence Hopewell Trail.
But the landscape of standardized testing has shifted dramatically. Increased competition, the rise of test-optional admissions policies, and growing criticism of standardized testing have contributed to declining demand. The disruption of Covid-19 accelerated the trends, and in 2024, ETS lost its SAT administration contract with the College Board, ending more than 75 years of direct involvement.
Facing sustained financial pressures and massive workforce reductions, ETS explored options to downsize its headquarters. Within the past year, company leadership approached Lawrence Township expressing interest in selling portions of the campus — potentially to private developers. That interest was formally acknowledged in the township’s June 2025 Fourth Round Housing Plan, where the site was identified under “Consideration of Lands Most Appropriate for Affordable Housing.”
The plan outlines a conceptual framework that could allow up to 800 homes, with 20% set aside for affordable housing, along with limited commercial development. It also notes environmental constraints, including wetlands, vernal pools, flood-prone areas and portions of the Category 1 Stony Brook.
Township officials emphasize that the plan is preliminary. With no applications filed and no approvals granted, any redevelopment would require multiple layers of review at both the planning and zoning levels.
“The elected officials who serve on our council and the appointed officials who serve on our planning board all have a
fiduciary obligation to comply with the law and act in the best interests of the community,” said Lawrence Township Municipal Manager Kevin Nerwinski. Environmental advocates say future reviews will be critical. “We look forward to hearing more details about the proposed redevelopment of the ETS campus,” said Jim Waltman, executive director of The Watershed Institute. “The issues of most interest…will include protection of the site’s forested habitat, management of stormwater runoff, and wastewater treatment and discharge.”
Preservation remains another possible path forward. D&R Greenway Land Trust has indicated a willingness to work with the property’s owners to protect all or part of the site. “D&R Greenway worked with developers and owners in 2001 to preserve Carson Road Woods in Lawrence, Farm View Fields and Greenway Meadows in Princeton, followed by St. Michaels Farm in Hopewell in 2010,” said Linda Mead, president and CEO of D&R Greenway Land Trust. “We are ready to work with the owners-of-record to accomplish a winwin by preserving all or the most critical parts of the ETS property.”
For now, the future of the ETS campus remains uncertain. What is clear is that the conversation is only beginning. One that will likely unfold over years, not months, as competing priorities around housing, environmental protection, and community character come into sharper focus.
Celebrate community and cuisine during Restaurant Week
By DaviD chait
Restaurant weeks are more than just a chance to enjoy a great meal. They’re an opportunity to celebrate the restaurants that help define the character of Hopewell Valley. From cozy cafés and pizzerias, to casual eateries, international cuisine, even vineyards and taverns, our local dining establishments truly have something for every taste.
As communities across the nation celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, The Hopewell Township Committee and staff are organizing a number of events throughout the year marking this special moment, with outsized meaning here where Washington’s crossed the Delaware and truly changed the world.
This includes celebrating in the most delicious way possible, by bringing residents and local businesses together for a week dedicated to food, community, and hometown pride.
With that, we’re thrilled to announce a new, annual Hopewell Township Restaurant Week.
From April 13 through 19, Restaurant Week celebrates restaurants from across the Valley. And we invite residents and visitors alike to explore the diverse and vibrant dining scene that makes our community so special.
Throughout the week, participating restaurants will feature special menus, dishes, and other promotions created exclusively for Restaurant Week, giving diners a perfect reason to try something
new, or revisit a longtime favorite.
As of publication, there are 13 restaurants participating, including (alphabetically) Antimo’s Italian Kitchen, Aunt Chubby’s Luncheonette, Boro Restaurant & Bar, Brick Farm Tavern, Hopewell Valley Vineyards, The Italian Table, Nomad Pizza, Patriot’s Crossing Tavern, The Peasant Grill, Piccolo Trattoria, Pru Thai, Sumo Sushi and Vito’s Pizza. And the list is growing.
I’d also like to give a big thanks to the Township Tourism and Economic Development Advisory Committee for their hard work bringing this to fruition.
As we celebrate America’s 250th, it’s worth remembering that small businesses like our local restaurants are the engine of the American economy. They employ over 50% of workers, and create two-thirds of all net new jobs. Every meal you enjoy locally is a vote of confidence in our community.
Whether you’re discovering a new favorite dish, meeting friends for dinner, or enjoying a family night out, Restaurant Week promises to be a memorable highlight of Hopewell Township’s America 250 celebrations. I personally can’t wait to eat at all participating restaurants that week and hope you’ll join.
So mark your calendars for April 13 to 19, 2026, bring your appetite, and get ready to experience the best of Hopewell Township’s local dining scene.
The township and the wider Valley are a place where community matters. Restaurants are gathering spaces where neighbors meet, families celebrate milestones and visitors discover the welcoming spirit of Hopewell Valley. Restaurant Week is designed to highlight that spirit by encouraging residents to dine locally and support the businesses that contribute so much to our local culture and economy.
When you dine out during Restaurant Week, you’re not just enjoying a great meal. You’re investing in the community. Supporting our local businesses matters.
You can learn more about participating restaurants and their special menus, and find out how to get your own business involved, by visiting the Township’s Restaurant Week page at www.hopewelltwp.org/818/RestaurantWeek-2026 or by reaching out at info@ hopewelltwp.org.
