Coverage takes in city council decisions, the Middlesex County courts and New Brunswick Public Schools alongside the pharmaceutical, healthcare and university employers that anchor the regional economy. From Fifth Ward and Feaster Park to Lincoln Park, Raritan Gardens and Edgebrook, neighborhood coverage extends into Somerset County, Monmouth County, Mercer County and Union County where stories cross the line. The concentration of major pharmaceutical and medical institutions ties local employment, real estate and transit decisions to an industry that operates on longer cycles than most local economies. Housing affordability, downtown development and school district resources are the recurring subjects in city hall reporting.
