He added, “We’re interested in knowing who these candidates are, looking at their varied experiences and skill sets that distinguish them from other candidates.”
The discussion on affordable housing may focus on a recent Princeton Council vote to amend the definition of an accessory dwelling unit to allow a primary unit and an accessory unit on a property to be owned separately instead of by just one owner.
“The new ordinance that approved accessory dwelling units in town could have major impact on individuals’ ability to age in place,” said Newlin. “At a critical time when African American home ownership is dwindling to the point of extinction, what options are left for longtime homeowners in W-J and other neighborhoods challenged by gentrification, zoning, yearly property tax revaluations, and financial interests of developers?”
He continued, “We are interested in getting an overview from municipal leadership and others on what their expectations are of the new ordinance’s impact on neighborhoods and on the ability of people to age in place and to address the fact that more people will be moving into Princeton. We want to make sure that, as these people move into Princeton, we maintain some level of diversity and inclusivity. It’s important how we move forward with smart growth for Witherspoon-Jackson and for all neighborhoods in Princeton, not just for people of color.”

“Welcoming Week has become an annual tradition where we come together as a community to celebrate our diversity and reaffirm our commitment to be a welcoming community,” said Princeton Mayor Lempert. “Unfortunately this year because of COVID we are not hosting in-person events, but the Library and Human Services have come up with a creative recipe sharing initiative.”
She continued, “Even though we aren’t able to physically come together, we can still achieve the main goal of Welcoming Week, which is to come together in a spirit of sharing and celebrating our collective heritages and redouble our efforts to ensure all of our neighbors feel a sense of belonging.”
Urias pointed out, “The events we’ve hosted for Welcoming Week are meant to be fun ways of creating community, but the idea should be achieved throughout the year, not simply for one week.”

—Donald Gilpin Homestead Princeton Moves To New Witherspoon Location
Home furnishings and design destination Homestead Princeton has announced the company’s new home, at 300 Witherspoon Street in Princeton. The move reflects both the evolution of the company as well as its vision for the future. Homestead Princeton will be hosting its Grand Re-Opening on Sunday, September 20 from 1-4 p.m. with giveaways, raffles, and participation from local businesses.
Homestead Princeton coowner Ron Menapace said, “We’re excited to open the doors in our new location and feel it celebrates our aesthetic, our vision, and the customers we serve. I am delighted to take this opportunity to announce Homestead Princeton’s new gift and design studio.”
Since its inception in 2012, Homestead Princeton has been recognized and lauded as a leader in home design, furniture, and gifts. Homestead Princeton’s award-winning aesthetic has reflected the taste and preferences of its loyal fan base.
“The move to 300 Witherspoon Street is the natural evolution for our brand,” adds Homestead Princeton co-owner Kristin Menapace. “Homestead Princeton has earned a reputation for a beautiful, yet affordable, design aesthetic and superior customer service. At Homestead Princeton, we plan to build on these distinctions as we look towards our future.”
Homestead Princeton’s new store is located in the former Princeton Packet newspaper building. Once bustling with reporters and churning printing presses, the building has been rehabbed and reimagined to reflect Homestead Princeton’s design-forward aesthetic.
“Repurposing this building celebrates Homestead Princeton’s legacy of salvaging lumber from historic structures to make our signature barnwood furniture,” said Kristin Menapace. “As Princetonians, we are proud to revive this storied building and we’re elated to call it our new home.”

SIX PEAS IN A POD Creating a Brighter Future
Six Peas in a Pod was created to meet the demands and struggles of children and parents alike during this pandemic crisis. We know the struggle is real. The pod solution brings routine back into the lives of families. Pods give students the opportunity to experience socialization and some independence. Parents are able to fully focus on their own work and needs.
Our pods are small groups of 5. These groups are monitored and supported by an instructor. The instructor supports the students by troubleshooting any technical issues that may arise and they help the students stay focused and involved during their online classes. The instructor designs a custom schedule to meet the students' academic curriculum. They also will schedule social and educational activities with their fellow Podders to keep their days balanced. Six Peas in a Pod has a unique location that is ideal for those yearning to have a traditional school environment. It is located in an old schoolhouse with access to 2 acres of outdoor space. We think this setting is perfect as it brings back some normalcy, structure and creativity. There is nothing like hearing laughter and experiencing happiness in an academic setting.
