Lambertville To Host Post-Hurricane Ida Community Session

It’s been two years since Hurricane Ida devastated parts of the City of Lambertville. Since then, the riverside city has remained proactive on ways to tackle flooding concerns. 

Lambertville will host a post-Hurricane Ida community session on Tuesday, October 17 at 7 p.m. at the Phillip L. Pittore Justice Center on South Union Street. 

The community session will give Lambertville residents a chance to voice their ideas and concerns to the city’s council.

It will also give Lambertville officials a chance to share what they’ve accomplished with residents when it comes to sustainability and climate change. 

To name a few of their recent moves, the city has created a plan to install two electric vehicle charging stations on North Union Street with a grant; listened to a stormwater utility presentation from New Jersey Future on whether a stormwater utility was right for them; and approved a stormwater management ordinance, per previous reporting by the New Hope Free Press. 

Lambertville also received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation to revamp Holcombe Park. This move improves the park’s ability to capture stormwater while turning it into a natural wonder filled with beautiful plants right here in Lambertville.

Another flood management initiative the city is conducting is paying Princeton Hydro to conduct a stormwater utility feasibility study, which won’t exceed $63,400.
