FLEMINGTON, NJ - After an outpouring of support for high school library media specialist Jessica Emili, and pleas to not put the position up for “a reduction in force” for next school year, Hunterdon Central Regional High School will be keeping her job for the 2021-2022 school year after a last-minute change was made.
With dozens of parents and students sitting masked at desks for the board of education’s meeting Monday, business administrator Gymlyn Corbin presented the proposed $74,153,293 budget and details of the municipal tax levy for 2021-2022 across the five sending municipalities of the district, Raritan Township, Flemington Borough, Readington Township, East Amwell Township and Delaware Township.

HUNTERDON COUNTY, NJ - The Hunterdon County Board of County Commissioners formalized another open space and land preservation initiative, adding the 97-acre CRC Mine Road property in Bethlehem Township to Hunterdon County’s land inventory.
This project was initiated by the nonprofit Hunterdon Land Trust, in Flemington.
In 2019, Hunterdon County awarded two grants that stirred this latest land preservation to the forefront, one grant to the Hunterdon Land Trust and another to Bethlehem Township, to fund 50% of the project. As the acquisition progressed, the county Department of Planning and Land Use determined this parcel to be a good fit into the Hunterdon County Parks’ system, as the land is adjacent to the county’s Tower Hill preserve.
