        CENTRAL NEW JERSEY RECOGNIZES AND CELEBRATES MARVIN REED

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, November 21, 2003

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the career of Mayor 
Marvin Reed, who has served the Borough of Princeton as mayor for 13 
years.
  A resident of the borough for 45 years, he began his career of public 
service in 1985 as a member of the Borough Council. Since that time the 
people of Princeton have chosen him as their leader for three 
consecutive terms.
  Under his direction the town has made a deliberate and concentrated 
effort to make affordable housing available to all within the 
community. He has secured five affordable housing developments and has 
laid the groundwork for at least 68 units of low-income senior housing.
  He has worked with the local police department to establish a strong 
community presence and to work hand in hand with residents. Throughout 
his years as mayor the borough has seen an increasingly strong 
community grow, one that works together to support senior programs, 
youth activities and growth within the community.
  Through his efforts the borough has seen the renovation of Borough 
Hall, the reconstruction of Monument Park and the Suzanne Paterson 
Senior Center. His commitments to creating open space and historic 
preservation have made Princeton Borough a stronger community.
  As an inspiration to his community and the State of New Jersey, Mayor 
Reed has contributed significantly to the life of his community. He has 
earned our heartfelt appreciation for his efforts.
