Past Events

On Thursday February 22, 2013, members of the business and academic communities, as well as local government representatives, convened at Raritan Valley Community College for a round table conversation on the economic future of Route 202, as part of Together 202: Reimagining Complete Communities along a Connecting Corridor. The conversation featured an overview of the project and a presentation of the corridor’s economic trends, followed by a discussion. Feedback from this round table will be essential in shaping a vision for the Route 202 corridor that supports economic development, new land use strategies and enhanced transportation linkages.
