Meetings & votes

Township Committee, Planning Board, and Zoning Board — schedules and links to the actual agendas.

Schedule

The Township Committee meets twice monthly at 7:00 PM at the Municipal Complex, 641 Plainsboro Road: a regular meeting on the 2nd Wednesday, and an agenda meeting on the 4th Wednesday. Planning Board and Zoning Board meetings are scheduled separately and are sometimes cancelled when there's nothing to review that month.

Not every meeting we track has a recorded video — the township's YouTube channel mostly carries produced feature segments ("Eye on Plainsboro"), not full meeting recordings. For actual meeting footage, check the official channel directly rather than assuming it's in our archive.

Board classification for each was confirmed from the document's own letterhead, not assumed from filenames — two files (Jan 20 and Apr 20) turned out to be Planning Board minutes despite being interspersed with Township Committee dates. All 2026 minutes are on the official Agenda Center regardless.

In development: short "Hey Jen" recap videos that summarize a full set of minutes in under two minutes, always linking back to the complete document. First script drafted from the Jan 2 meeting above — not yet produced.
