Robbinsville Town Center, near the intersection of U.S. Route 130 and Route 33, is a mix of about 1,000 housing units, including loft-style condominiums, townhouses, duplexes, single-family homes, and real estate space.[96]
Plans are underway to redevelop the portion of the township which lies to the south of Route 33, between the Hamilton Township border and U.S. Route 130.[97] In December 2010, the state approved designating this property as an area in need of development, which allows the township to draft a plan and appoint a redeveloper to revive stalled construction projects there.[98]
Robbinsville is home to a large warehouse colony, located on West Manor Way, just adjacent to the entrances and exit ramps to exits 7 and 8 off of Interstate 195. It is home to a variety of companies' distribution centers, including Scholastic Books, JDSU, Sleepy's, and Grainger Products. The Robbinsville Field House is a large membership gym located at the entrance to the warehouse colony near Route 526. An Amazon.com Fulfillment Center warehouse opened in the Matrix Business Park off of CR 539 in July 2014.[99]
As of May2010, the township had a total of 100 miles (160km) of roadways, of which 78.26 miles (125.95km) were maintained by the municipality, 8.16 miles (13.13km) by Mercer County, 8.37 miles (13.47km) by the New Jersey Department of Transportation and 5.20 miles (8.37km) by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority.[100]
The east-west Interstate 195 (Central Jersey Expressway) is the largest highway providing access to local roads in Robbinsville.
Interstate 195 is a major east–west artery that connects New Jersey's state capital of Trenton eastward to Robbinsville (at the New Jersey Turnpike's exit 7A) and then onward to the Garden State Parkway at Wall Township, thereby providing Robbinsville with direct access to the Jersey Shore region. Interchange 7A (for the Turnpike) is located within the township, with a 13-lane toll gate. Interstate 195 also provides access to Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson Township.
Robbinsville Township is home to Trenton-Robbinsville Airport (identifier N87), an uncontrolled general aviation airport, with a 4,275-foot (1,303m) long runway. The airport averages 30,000 aircraft operations per year.[110]
Sports
Robbinsville Township reached the Little League Softball World Series in four of the seven years from 2008 to 2014, the only program in the nation to do so.[111] The team won the championship in 2014 with a 22–0 postseason record and a 4–1 win against Bossier City, Louisiana in the tournament final.[112][113] That year, an ESPN article described the town as "arguably the biggest hotbed of girls' softball players in the country."[111]
