Savings and Investment Products Before opening a savings or investment account with a bank or other financial institution, find out whether the account is insured by the federal government (FDIC or NCUA). An increasing number of products offered by these institutions, including mutual stock funds and annuities, are not insured.

Building New Online Strategy That doesn't sway Revolutionary War re-enactor Jerry Hurwitz, president of the Princeton Battlefield Area Preservation Society, who contends the property where the institute wants to build is "hallowed ground" that unfortunately did not become part of the historic park long ago.

Info Building Domain Wealth "This is not an ordinary piece of property," said Hurwitz, who lives in Plainsboro. "We're not just talking Green Acres or open spaces, we're talking about an important piece of American history."

Building Wealth Years The parcel slated for development by the institute is where the right wing of the American line and the left wing of the British line met during the pivotal Battle of Princeton, park curator John Mills said.

Building Financial Mantras "This project will eliminate the last piece of unprotected or undeveloped battleground, wiping out the archeological record," Mills said.

Building Idea Wealth "The ground they want to build on is part of the historic battlefield," he said. "The heaviest fighting (of the Battle of Princeton) was on the property of Thomas and William Clarke.

Building Secret Wealth The world-renowned institute has owned the disputed parcel at least since the late 1960s, and the idea of building additional faculty housing somewhere on institute land is nothing new, she said.

Building Seminar Wealth About 40 percent of the existing historic parkland was sold to the state by the institute in the early 1970s, Whidden said.

Building Creating Wealth "At that time and since then, no one has ever approached the institute about this piece of property (where the 15 houses would be built)," she said.

Building Tip Wealth Until this week, the idea of selling that parcel for preservation was never proposed to the institute, Whidden said.

Building Future Managed Wealth Such a sale has been recommended by Alvin J. Payne, acting director of the state Division of Parks and Forestry.

Building Financial Wealth Payne fired off a letter to the institute Tuesday urging that it scrap its plan to develop the property for the sake of historic preservation.

Building Rule Wealth "This proposed development . . . would irreversibly destroy the archeological resources of the site," Payne's letter states. "In addition to the archeological damage, the historic landscape and (view) will be forever changed for Princeton Battlefield State Park."

Building New Online Strategy He recommended the institute work with the state's Green Acres program on a plan to allow the state to buy the 35 acres on which the new housing is proposed.

Building Wealth Years Echoing the sentiments of other critics of the institute's plans, Payne said it would be a mistake to push the housing proposal simply because it is a convenient and expedient way for the institute to provide new faculty housing.

Building Financial Mantras "Housing alternatives are possible, while no other battlefield open space remains," Payne said.

Building Idea Wealth One option that might satisfy both sides would be a land swap, with the institute trading its Battle of Princeton acreage for developable property in the area that isn't as historically significant, Hurwitz said.
