Point to note: Hightstown Borough official minutes are posted two weeks after the meeting. They need to be approved by council - who meets the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month- before they can be posted.
I get it. Everyone is busy and can’t make time to attend a council meeting.
So do the next best thing:
1. Follow @hightstowndemocrat.bsky.social and get these easy to read synopsis of the meetings.
2. Bookmark Hightsownborough.com and read the official minutes.

You want a thriving downtown?

Focus on being a draw:
• Raise standards for building owners.
• Enforce codes.
• Beautify your streets.
• Create great public spaces.
• Make room for pedestrians, not just their vehicles.
• Invest in experiences, not asphalt.
