The State Legislature, along with the Governor and Department of Community Affairs have updated the Open Public Meetings Act (OPMA) to allow for virtual public meetings. Even the New Jersey Legislature is meeting virtually at this time. These updates still require meetings to be accessible to the public. The City of Lambertville is committed to providing access to everyone through video conferencing and conference calls, and will be using this page as a resource for residents.

Unfortunately, we do not know how long this will last, however, public health experts estimate it could be months before public gatherings are permitted. Every public body around the state is wrestling with these challenges. The City will be working to create a multi-month plan to keep our City government functioning and business moving through virtual means while ensuring the public can participate. We, of course, hope to return to in-person public meetings as soon as possible while protecting public health.
