“It’s no secret to anyone that the 81-year-old Trenton Central High School is literally disintegrating, with leaky roofs and crumbling walls,” Hughes said during his annual State of the County address, hosted by MIDJersey Chamber of Commerce at the Hyatt Regency in West Windsor.
Hughes called for county and state officials to work together to find solutions to address the school’s needs.
Needed repairs at the school have long been delayed as state and city officials have been unable to agree on the type of improvements or the schedule for getting the work completed.
