The tiny borough of Rocky Hill, nestled along the D&R Canal State Park and within walking distance to the booming real estate markets of Princeton and Montgomery Township, may see a huge population spike. The historic village has about 280 households, but that may increase by another 91 homes in the form of condos and rowhomes on a historic farm property off Princeton Avenue. This 32% increase would include 18 affordable units.

Montgomery Township’s Fourth Round Prospective Affordable Housing obligation (2025-2035) of 260 units will be addressed with extension of expiring controls and Fourth Round bonuses, according to a new plan that was posted online on Feb. 13. Township Committee is expected to introduce the affordable housing ordinance at its Thursday, Feb. 19 meeting. The Montgomery Planning Board will hold a public hearing and adoption vote on plan on Monday, Feb. 23.

Kahn of Malvern, PA filed a lawsuit in Somerset County Superior Court on Jan. 22, 2026 contending that the Montgomery Planning Board is attempting to block redevelopment of the 382-acre former Kenvue site, despite initially incorporating the site into its affordable housing plan.

After a public outcry, Montgomery Township’s elected leaders presented a new affordable housing option at the last town hall meeting on August 11. Residents, including two newly-formed citizens groups, will attend a second town hall on Monday, August 25, to learn whether this new option is feasible. Or, will there be other achievable options to replace an unpopular key component of the current township plan — a high-density housing development at the former Kenuve (J&J) corpo
