Keeping you in the loop re: letter emailed to Times and Trentonian Editor; TCCA opposition of the state's plan:


February 21, 2017

Letter to the Editor

Trenton Council of Civic Associations is opposed to the state’s plan to demolish and reconstruct new state buildings.

With state’s plans to demolish the agriculture, health, and taxation buildings and essentially build new structures further away from the core of the city is fundamentally disheartening and will have economic impact on downtown Trenton. Although, the state reported they plan to build new structures, it appears the new site/s to build will be further away from downtown. If this plan moves forward, there may be a serious negative effect and the plan goes against Trenton 250 Plan and the 2008 Downtown Masterplan. The Trenton 250 Plan and Downtown Masterplan is thoughtfully designed to strengthen downtown businesses and its residents.

Mix used development should be the objective of negotiation with the state—residential and ancillary space above office space. Office space will satisfy the needs of the state. However, benefits to the city from state offices is limited to foot traffic at lunch time.

The combination of office and residential will make downtown come alive at lunch time as well as during the evenings and weekends.

1. Mixed Used Buildings—is office buildings at the base with housing and ancillary space on top is the optimum development program for the city.

2. Foundation and Related Cost Allocated to Office Space—mix used development will enable the office space to pay for the foundations and related infrastructure cost such as elevator shaft. This will reduce the cost of the apartments and ancillary spaces—swimming pool, gym, restaurant, etc.

3. Property Taxes—state buildings are exempted from property taxes. Residential and related commercial spaces on top of the state offices will enable the city to collect property taxes.

4. Location of Proposed State Office Buildings & Local Business Opportunities—everybody should be on the same page as it relates to the exact location, size, cost and timeframe. Where possible local business should be given priority for all service during the construction period and during operation of the buildings.

It be ideal to discuss with the architect/developer the economics of the state office space absorbing the cost of the foundations. This could be a win for all the governor, mayor and residents.

In addition, the surfaces at the agriculture and health buildings should be turned down and turned in shopping outlet/small business with a grocery store such as; Wegmans or Whole Foods or something along those lines.

City of Trenton should have and needs a downtown that is sustainable, thriving, upbeat, have skylines, and economically viable.

Let’s focus on building instead of taking away from the City of Trenton.

Rachel Cogsville-Lattimer,
President, Trenton Council of Civic Associations
