Borough Planning Board

In-Person Meetings

(with hybrid zoom public viewing option - click here for information on how to view remotely)

The Hopewell Borough Planning board meets on the first Wednesday of each month and acts as a combined land use board, serving both as the town’s zoning board of adjustment and exercises its planning functions. In addition to hearing subdivision and land use applications, the board is tasked with maintaining the municipality’s master plan and acts on recommendations from the historic preservation commission. Links to frequently used forms, minutes and agenda can be found below, or at the Borough’s forms/applications and agenda/minutes pages. Documents for pending applications may be found by scrolling further down this page, or by reviewing them in person at Borough Hall.
