Summary
The Montclair State University Board of Trustees unanimously approved acceptance of a $3,099,574 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to fund the “Montclair State Green Canopy Project,” and authorized the Director of Sponsored Programs to effectuate the award.
The Montclair State University Board of Trustees voted unanimously on Feb. 5 to accept a $3,099,574 grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for the project titled “Montclair State Green Canopy Project.” The motion, moved by Trustee Anthony Abrantes and recorded as No. 3570, authorized the Director of Sponsored Programs to take all actions necessary to effectuate the grant.
The Infrastructure and Operations Committee had reviewed capital project reports and contract awards at its Feb. 3 meeting before the full board voted on the grant. The minutes record the board’s approval of the application and acceptance, and note that the director of sponsored programs is authorized to execute administrative steps required to receive and administer the funds.
Board members and staff did not include detailed line-item spending plans in the public minutes. The record indicates that the award is intended to support the university’s Green Canopy initiative; the minutes do not specify a project timeline or which campus units will administer the grant. Questions about implementation, timelines and how the funds will be allocated were not addressed in the public minutes and remain to be resolved by sponsored programs and applicable university offices.
