Community and State Affairs office gets involved

Princeton NJ — This issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin is being mailed to residents of the local community on behalf of the Office of Community and State Affairs.

The office serves as “a bridge between town and gown,” according to Pam Hersh, its director. “My team works with state, county and municipal government officials, plus with a wide variety of community organizations, to enhance the quality of life throughout the region,” she said.

The office gets involved in issues such as donations to municipalities, land use, affordable housing, transportation, environment, science, technology and higher education policy, and economic development.
