Flemington was once known for its glass factory. Today, it is a town with a few small businesses. Community leaders are working hard to restore the bustling community to its former glory. The plan released on Feb. 25, 2014, contains many small projects, including turning the area around the old glass factory into working and living studios for artists, the creation of a friendly downtown Main Street filled with specialty shops, and continuation of work on the Union Hotel.
