Our Place in the World

Though located about equidistant from New York and Philadelphia, Princeton stands on its own as a unique municipality that attracts entrepreneurs, innovators, business owners, community leaders, service organizations, tourists and residents, as well as students and academics. 

Princeton is simply a wonderful place to be. We are excited and proud to be a champion for its success and a partner in its future.
