Kenilworth applies for county greening and PSE&G efficiency program; mobile motor-vehicle unit draws positive feedback
Summary
Administrative staff said the borough applied for two Union County funding opportunities and the PSE&G Direct Install efficiency program that could cover up to 80% of HVAC upgrades; a mobile Motor Vehicle Commission unit held a well‑received event at Borough Hall.
Borough administrative staff reported three recent funding applications and a well‑attended public service event.
Grants and energy program Staff said the borough applied for the Union County Greening program and the Union County Recreational Trust (both tied to a consent resolution), and also began the PSE&G Direct Install process to evaluate replacing HVAC cooling systems in multiple borough buildings. Staff said the PSE&G program pays up to 80% of eligible upgrade costs and that a customer’s share may be paid over 60 months on-bill with no added interest if approved; the process starts with a no‑obligation equipment survey.
Mobile MVC and other administrative items Staff said a mobile Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) unit staffed by state partners visited Borough Hall and processed Real ID applications; officials said residents and staff praised the event and thanked the state senator who helped bring the unit. The CFO reported that a capital bond ordinance would be ready for the next meeting and that several awards tied to that ordinance would likely appear on the upcoming agenda.
Why it matters The PSE&G program could reduce borough energy costs and accelerate HVAC replacement in municipal facilities; county greening and recreation funds support capital improvements to parks and recreation assets. The mobile MVC event provided a one‑stop service for residents who need identification updates.
