State recreation grant will fund one Old Bridge playground; district to name school later
Summary
The district learned that the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs awarded Old Bridge $68,200 for a playground through a statewide local recreation improvement grant program; the board was told the specific school recipient has not yet been identified.
District administration told the board on April 14 that the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs awarded $9.918 million statewide for local recreation improvements and that Old Bridge Township received $68,200 to install a playground at one elementary school.
"Old Bridge Township Board of Education in Middlesex County was awarded $68,200," Mr. Wiedell said, but he added that the specific school name had not yet been communicated to the district. He said the grants were structured so no district received more than one award.
Trustees and public commenters welcomed the news, and board members said they will provide an update once the administration identifies the recipient school and finalizes plans.
The announcement came as part of the board business section and will be added to future meeting materials when specifics are available.
