The following are statements released in October by Sujit Singh, Ajay Tomar and Andrew Winters. Singh is running for West Windsor mayor and Tomar and Winters are council candidates.
A Better Vision for West Windsor’s Future
The BP8 project is more than just a bad development deal, it’s a symptom of a deeper failure of leadership. For eight years, the current administration has relied on outdated thinking, reactive planning, and fear-based messaging to justify decisions that don’t benefit residents. Rather than engaging the community, pursuing partnerships, or exploring creative solutions, they’ve settled for quick fixes that mortgage our future.
This approach has left West Windsor lagging behind other towns that are embracing 21st-century planning. While our neighbors invest in walkable downtowns, clean tech innovation hubs, and resilient infrastructure, our leadership is doubling down on warehouses, the lowest-value, highest-impact form of development. They’ve failed to pursue available state and county resources, missed opportunities for collaborative planning, and ignored resident input on how land use should reflect our shared priorities.
We see a different path, one rooted in sustainability, economic diversity, and community well-being. We believe West Windsor’s future depends on mindful development that works for everyone, not just a handful of warehouse developers.
Smart Economic Growth: Instead of low-value warehouse sprawl, we can attract research centers, clean technology firms, and small businesses that generate high-paying jobs, strengthen our tax base, and align with our community’s character. Our location near Princeton makes us an ideal home for innovation, but only if we have leadership with the vision of pursuing it.
Sustainable, Resilient Planning: Climate realities demand smarter development. We are committed to addressing flooding and environmental risks through stronger standards, green infrastructure, and planning that protects our open space.
Thoughtful Housing Solutions: Meeting affordable housing obligations does not require reckless overdevelopment. With careful planning, we can integrate well-designed projects into the township, supporting diversity and affordability without overwhelming our schools or infrastructure.
Vibrant, Walkable Spaces: By focusing on mixed-use projects that blend retail, housing, and public green spaces, we can create community hubs that foster connection, support local businesses, and improve quality of life.
This election is about more than a single warehouse project. It’s about what kind of community we want to be. We can accept an outdated vision that prioritizes industrial development interests over residents needs, or we can embrace a forward-looking approach that builds a safer, stronger, and smarter West Windsor.
The Choice Is Clear:
• The incumbents offer more traffic, more pollution, and more concrete.
• We offer smarter planning, cleaner growth, and leadership that puts people first.
Let’s reject the failed status quo and embrace a safer, stronger, smarter future for West Windsor.
It’s time for leadership that plans for and builds a future worthy of West Windsor.
West Windsor is a wonderful place to call home, but it deserves better leadership than it has today. After years of the same entrenched administration, we see the consequences all around us: unchecked warehouse sprawl eating into open space, flooding that never gets fixed, crumbling sidewalks and streets, dangerous crossings left unaddressed, and rising property taxes without clear accountability. The incumbents have had their chance, but they’ve failed to deliver. It’s time for leadership that listens, plans, and acts. With your vote, we can put West Windsor on a stronger, smarter, and more sustainable path.
Mindful Community Development
For too long, the current administration has rubber-stamped large-scale industrial warehouses that threaten our wetlands, clog our roads, and offer little benefit to taxpayers. We will stop this reckless pattern and instead pursue smart, mixed-use development that strengthens our tax base and preserves open space. By partnering with the NJ AI Hub, we can attract high-value, innovation-driven businesses, boosting revenue without burdening residents.
Investing in Infrastructure
Years of neglect have left our streets pocked with potholes and our sidewalks crumbling, while the administration has ignored repeated resident calls for safer crossings. We will make infrastructure a top priority: repairing roads, installing flashing pedestrian signals at Abington Lane, Rabbit Hill, and Penn Lyle, and using smart traffic technology to reduce congestion and prevent accidents.
Environmental Stewardship
Despite worsening storms and rising flood risks, the incumbents have failed to update our flood protections or safeguard our wetlands. We will act where they haven’t by strengthening ordinances, protecting undeveloped lands, and advancing sustainability with green building standards, solar energy, EV charging, and a township-wide composting program.
Community Wellness
Public spaces have languished under leaders without vision. We will revitalize them by doing the work to secure grants to transform our library into a true community hub. Our vision is to create a community center where residents can connect, learn, and thrive.
Keeping Taxes Stable
While property taxes climb, residents ask: what are we getting for our money? The current administration hasn’t answered. We will. By cutting wasteful spending by at least 5%, conducting a full budget review, and adopting priority-based budgeting, we’ll ensure your tax dollars work for you. Shared services and smart economic growth will help stabilize taxes without sacrificing services.
Transparency, Collaboration & Governance
Residents deserve a government that communicates and responds, not one that hides behind closed doors and ignores community voices. We will upgrade the township website to show exactly where your tax dollars are spent, launch a Civic App for real-time problem reporting and updates, and hold regular town halls. Flexible inspection services and AI-driven tools will make government more accessible and effective.
West Windsor stands at a crossroads. We can choose more of the same, the missed opportunities, the inaction, the disregard for resident voices. Or we can choose a future where government listens, plans wisely, and works for the people. With your vote, we’ll protect our green spaces, modernize our infrastructure, strengthen fiscal responsibility, and deliver the transparent, responsive leadership West Windsor deserves.
Let’s protect what makes our town special and finally build the future we’ve all been waiting for.
