North Brunswick dedicates ‘Corbin’s Corner’
March 26, 2026Family, friends and officials gathered on Monday, March 23 to dedicate ‘Corbin’s Corner’ at the Municipal Building, in honor of Councilman Robert Corbin, who served on the Township Council for 18 years before his passing in 2020.
Corbin’s Corner is a quiet reading area in the building’s Community Resiliency Center. The Resiliency Center will serve as a community hub for emergency response, recovery coordination, and resident support during and after major events and disruptions, as well as education and community engagement. It is scheduled to open in April.
Corbin’s widow, Connie, cut the ribbon during the ceremony.
“It’s lovely,” she said, “I’m sure that Bob would have been so pleased.”
Mayor Francis ‘Mac’ Womack said Business Administrator Justine Progebin thought a corner for reflection, “where there could be some books with a little bit of knowledge were the right things to remember what Bob had brought to the Township Council.’
He said Corbin was a ‘steady hand’, ‘the last man who spoke many times on many issues, and when he finally spoke, he was the man who settled the issues.’
“North Brunswick is a better place for having had resident Bob Corbin. It’s a much better place for having had Councilman and Council President Bob Corbin,” Womack said.
