Spotswood council adopts ordinance requiring car removal during snowstorms
SPOTSWOOD–The Borough Council adopted an ordinance requiring that all residents must remove their vehicles off roads during snowstorm emergencies.
Before adopting the ordinance, Chief of Police Michael Zarro said this year brought some extraordinary circumstances, and extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures.
“It’s not our goal of the police department to ticket the residents, we try to go above and beyond all the time for our residents, but we were at a really critical point. The mayor and I were in constant communication and we were monitoring the weather,” Zarro said. “We had some changes in the weather where it became sleet, and some ice and some rain and a combination, which limited some of the snow that we were anticipating in the snow, we were at a critical point.”
PRINCETON Statesmen, town officials and clergy have lived in this brick-and-mortar piece of history known as the 1760 Peter Goodnow House.
The 16-room farmhouse at 49 Gregory Hill Road is on the National Register of Historic Places and on the market for $849,900.
Goodnow (1710-1783) was a Sudbury native who moved to Princeton. He was elected to the office of selectman in 1760. He subsequently held the posts of town assessor and treasurer before a second election to selectman. Goodnow’s signature is found on the first covenant of the Congregational Society in 1764.
Charles Russell completed the federal-style portion of the house in 1815, which was attached to an ell of the original 1760 build. Russell designed parts of the main house to replicate the circa 1786 Goodnow Inn, which is presently owned by the Massachusetts Audubon Society. An attached barn was added to the home in 1824.
