Happy Easter to all those celebrating! Below is an overview of what’s happening this upcoming week in Hopewell Borough:
Borough Council Meeting – Monday April 6th (7PM)
The April Borough Council meeting will be Monday April 6th starting at 7PM (the Monday date was chosen at the start of the year to avoid the first days of Passover and HVRSD spring break). The meeting will be in person at Borough Hall with a zoom broadcast. Information on how to tune in (and comment) via zoom can be found here. As always, we look forward to getting input from you at the meeting, in person or via zoom. The agenda can be found below and pending ordinances can be found here.
Highlights from this month’s meeting include: introduction of the Borough’s 2026 budget (public hearing and adoption is scheduled for the May meeting), a public hearing an ordinance to allow liquor licenses for theaters, following a recent change in state law allowing them and introduction of an ordinance for an all-way stop at Columbia and Seminary.
Trash and Recycling Pickup – Tuesday April 7th
Tuesday is the regular trash and recycling pickup in the Borough. Please remember that trash containers should be covered and watertight to prevent mixing of rain/stormwater and placed at the curb between 3PM on Monday and 7AM Tuesday for pickup.
