Hillsborough Township Committee set to act on contracts, grants, and demolition; Planning Board meeting canceled
Hillsborough Township's recent government activity centers on a July 28 Township Committee agenda packed with contracts, grants, and equipment purchases totaling more than $250,000, while the Planning Board's July 23 session was canceled and the Environmental Commission conducted a preliminary review of a proposed car wash on Route 206.
Township Committee — July 28
The Township Committee was scheduled to vote on several contracts, grant applications, and purchases at its July 28 meeting. Because minutes have not yet been published, the following items reflect what was on the agenda, not confirmed outcomes.
Agenda items included:
- Awarding a contract to Cedar Contracting Company for the Flemming Drive Phase 2 sidewalk replacement.
- Awarding a contract to Top Line Construction for the 2026 Capital Roadway paving project.
- Awarding a contract for demolition of the Old Municipal Building for up to $78,967.50.
- Requesting approval of a $116,317.88 Clean Communities Grant and a $100,000 Somerset County Trails Grant.
- Approving a $43,000 capital ordinance for a new phone system and battery backup.
No dollar amounts were listed for the Cedar Contracting or Top Line Construction contracts in the available agenda data. Vote tallies were not available because minutes had not been published as of this report.
Environmental Commission — July 27
The Environmental Commission met on July 27 for routine business, including roll call and consideration of meeting minutes. The only substantive item was a preliminary review of a major site plan application for a 13,955-square-foot car wash facility at 425 Route 206.
The application, filed under File BA-25-15 by Flagship NJ Propco, LLC (Spotless Brands), involves stormwater management and requires variances and waivers. The Environmental Commission's review was preliminary; the application is scheduled to be presented in detail to the Board of Adjustment at a later date.
Planning Board — July 23
The Hillsborough Township Planning Board did not meet on July 23, 2026. The meeting was canceled. No substantive decisions or discussions occurred. The board's 2026 schedule includes regular and business meetings, according to the agenda.
What residents should watch
The Township Committee's July 28 agenda items, if approved, would affect road paving, sidewalk replacement on Flemming Drive, demolition of the Old Municipal Building, and upgrades to the township's phone system.
