Hopewell Township – Crossroads of the American Revolution
Since the birth of our nation, many locations throughout the thirteen original colonies have laid claim to being
the crossroads of the American Revolution. Yet Hopewell stands alone as the actual site where General
Washington landed his troops after crossing the Delaware River on Christmas night in 1776, and then launched
a surprise attack on Trenton. Most historians agree that the Battle of Trenton was the turning point of the war,
thereby securing Hopewell’s historical place as both the geographic and inspirational crossroads of the
American Revolution. Two hundred and thirty five years later, our citizens continue to pride themselves in the
township’s historical significance, as we work towards innovative ways of preserving both the land and the
character of the community.
Like many municipalities throughout New Jersey, Hopewell currently finds itself at a fiscal crossroads. Due to
substantial increases in the costs to run local government, nearly every town and city in New Jersey has had to
reevaluate both its expenditures and revenues to hold the line on taxes. With state aid virtually unchanged,
coupled with increases in contractual obligations, pension funding and the ever escalating costs of health care,
Hopewell Township faces the challenge of delivering essential and desired services at a reasonable cost to our
taxpayers.
As it has done in the past several years, Hopewell Township continues to preserve open space and farmland by
maintaining strong working relationships with local, county and state non-profit organizations. In doing so,
hundreds of acres have been preserved in perpetuity. Yet there is much to be done.
In all, the prevailing expectation is that Hopewell Township’s future will look a lot like its past, where open
spaces and farm land dominate the landscape.

Understanding Your 2015 Assessment
The land value for assessment purposes represents the
neighborhood in which your property is located as well as
topography, site improvements and any other influential factors
pertinent to its location. The improvement value represents the
cost to replace your particular structure or structures. In looking at
your assessed value for 2015, it is very important that you look at
the total assessment and not separate land and improvement
values. When filing an appeal the total value will be considered.

RESIDENT IDENTIFICATION CARDS
FINGERPRINTING
•
Resident Identification Cards – these cards provide a form
of photo identification which may be helpful to residents for
travel and other purposes, particularly for those who do not have
a photo-driver’s license. The cards include a digital photograph,
finger impression and the bearer’s signature.
•
Fingerprinting - the police department also does
fingerprinting for some employment, licensing or background
checks. Fingerprinting of children is also performed. For
additional information or questions on this service, please
contact the department.
Fingerprinting is usually done Tuesday evenings between 4 pm
and 7 pm. We suggest you phone the police department (7373100) prior to coming in to ensure that an officer will be available
to perform the service. For additional information, or to make
special arrangements, contact us at 609-737-3100.
PROJECT MEDICINE DROP
Hopewell Township has joined the New Jersey Attorney
General’s “Project Medicine Drop” initiative, and has installed a
Project Medicine Drop box within the police department’s lobby.
Hopewell Valley residents are invited to drop off any unused
prescription medications anonymously and with no questions
asked. Project Medicine Drop is an important component of the
New Jersey Attorney General’s effort to stop the diversion and
abuse of prescription drugs, including highly addictive opiate
painkillers.
Residents may visit the Hopewell Township Police Department
at any time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,
to dispose of their unused or excess medications.
By giving New Jersey residents a safe and secure method to
dispose of unneeded medications, Project Medicine Drop helps
prevent the abuse of these drugs. This initiative also protects
New Jersey’s environment by keeping these drugs out of landfills
and out of the water supply. More information about Project
Medicine Drop, including the full list of Project Medicine Drop
locations, can be found at www.NJConsumerAffairs.gov/meddrop.
EMERGENCY NOTIFICATIONS
The Hopewell Township Police/Office of Emergency
Management uses a community information service called CODE
RED to deliver important and timely information to our residents.
This free service alerts subscribers to public safety threats and
important community information via phone calls, e-mails, and
cell phone text messages.
Residents with Verizon or Comcast home phone service will
automatically be registered to receive messages on their home
phones. Residents with other phone service providers or those
who wish to receive messages on their cell phones, text
messages or email messages must self-register. To do selfregister, additional contact information, or for more information
go visit the Hopewell Township web site at
www.hopewelltwp.org and look for the CODE RED link. While
the service is free, people opting to receive the messages on
their cell phones should be aware that normal text messaging
fees do apply.
CODE RED will be our primary method of getting important
information out to our residents. Other methods presently being
used are- cable television notices and updates to the Hopewell
Township web site.
The police department stresses that while no method of
emergency notification is foolproof, CODE RED will also allow us
to make notifications to people, using several means, even if they
are not at home, by sending both text and voice messages to
their cell phone.
FACEBOOK
The Police Department also disseminates critical and
timely information through facebook.
Friend us at “Hopewell Township NJ Police”, like our
page and you will receive notifications.

SUSTAINABLE LIVING
Sustainable living makes a difference: Hopewell Township is a leader in
environmental sustainability. Our master plan and zoning are based in large part
on “water balance” or the balance between the volume of water removed from
our groundwater supplies and volume of water returned to our groundwater
supplies from rainfall, ponds, and innovative stormwater management
techniques. The Township has installed solar panels, has performed energy
audits and is making many changes in all of its municipal buildings to conserve
energy. New budgets also include sustainable considerations. Hopewell
Township is developing land use ordinances to require sustainable design
considerations for all new land development.
Sustainable living does not always require BIG changes: Small changes by
many can make BIG improvements overall. Little changes reduce energy
consumption which reduces energy production which reduces emission of
carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This gas has the greatest negative impact
on climate change. Little changes include:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Increased recycling and reusing items bound for the trash
Installing CFL or LED light bulbs
Turning lights off and unplugging devices that use energy when not in use
Reducing temperature of hot water heaters
Replacing dirty air conditioner and heater filters
Taking shorter showers
Switching to a low-flow shower head, faucets, and toilets
Washing clothes in cold water and hanging clothes to dry
Proper tire inflation on all vehicles
Finding routes to work that require less drive time
Carpooling
Using mass transit, bicycles, or walking whenever possible
Buying local. Many food items have traveled over 1000 miles from where they
were produced. Buying locally-grown food saves money and energy. Frozen
food requires up to ten or more times the energy of fresh food.
These changes can make BIG differences so please give them a try!
BIGGER changes make BIGGER differences: The bigger the change the
BIGGER the overall change. New Jersey’s Office of Clean Energy
http://www.njcleanenergy.com offers many programs to assist homeowners and
business owners in making bigger changes. They assisted Hopewell Township
by funding energy audits of its municipal facilities which helped guide changes
that offered not only reduced energy consumption but also changes that saved
money. NJ Clean Energy offers the same type of assistance for homeowners
and businesses. It is NOT complicated. Bigger changes can include new more
efficient heating/air conditioning systems, new better insulated windows and
better insulation. Which changes make the biggest difference can be found by
performing an energy audit on your home or business. We encourage everyone
to reach out to NJ Clean Energy.
Stay informed: Sustainable living is an evolution. Staying informed will help
everyone make even the smallest of change. The Hopewell Township
Environmental Commission and Hopewell Township Green Team are working
hard to make this information available and to keep our residents informed.

OTHER SUGGESTIONS
Be Lazy: Take a break and stop raking leaves! Leaves are one of the best
fertilizers. Mow them into the ground and watch what happens. Greener grass
occurs with less application of costly fertilizers. If you enjoy raking, you can
create compost with your leaves to add to your garden, landscape plants, and
potted house plants. Pile them in an out of the way section of your yard, turn
them with a pitchfork every few months to add oxygen and in about a year,
you’ll have great compost!
Plant trees: Trees soak up carbon dioxide as they grow, offsetting some
emissions. They also provide shade and reduce air conditioning needs.
Install Rain Barrels or Build a Rain Garden: Reduce your outdoor water
consumption by using “free” rain water instead of running your faucet.
Reducing stormwater runoff from your property will help keep our streams
cleaner too!
