The Montgomery Township Planning Board voted unanimously on March 23 to recommend to the township governing board that a 44-acre corporate office complex on the corner of Route 206 and Orchard Road is an "Area in Need of Redevelopment" (AINR). This could pave the way for tax breaks (Payments in Lieu of Taxes or PILOT), and other fiscal tools such as bonding for the owner/developer of the property.

New e-bike regulations are now in effect across New Jersey. E-bike drivers must have a valid license for ages 15 and up, and insurance.

This summer, the last of the long-planned loop roads designed to ease congestion and improve traffic flow at the Routes 206/518 intersection will open to traffic.

It was determined the loop-road system offered a more sustainable approach.

Each month, Montgomery High School Athletic Director Kris Grundy polls local coaches to select a female and male scholar athlete to spotlight on this page. In addition to a feature article, each athlete receives gift certificates to The Tiger’s Tale and Beniamino's Cucina and Pizza. Emma Reyes-Cano and Obinna Obuba are The Montgomery News March Athletes of the Month.

There have been some drastic changes to Obinna Obuba’s life since his last athlete of the month nomination in May 2025. The Montgomery senior spent his fall hauling in 21 catches for 534 yards and six touchdowns on the gridiron, helping the Cougars to a Section Two, Group Four championship appearance against Phillipsburg. However, his best work still comes on the track, where he owns the school record in the 55m hurdles, and lowered it in dramatic fashion.
