Township committee approves support for $5,000 sustainable-communities grant for Nature Reserve
Summary
Egg Harbor Township approved a resolution authorizing application for a $5,000 Sustainable Communities grant from Atlantic City Electric to fund components of a previously drafted Nature Reserve vision plan; the environmental commission and Nature Reserve Committee will oversee use of funds.
Egg Harbor Township’s governing body voted to approve a resolution enabling the township to apply for a $5,000 Sustainable Communities grant funded by Atlantic City Electric to advance parts of the Nature Reserve vision plan. A staff member told the committee the grant would be supervised by the environmental commission and the Nature Reserve Committee.
"This allows me to apply for a $5,000 grant under Sustainable Communities, which will be supervised by the environmental commission and the Nature Reserve Committee," the staff member said, asking the committee to approve the resolution by title.
A committee member moved to approve the resolution; a colleague seconded the motion and a roll-call vote carried the measure. The staff member said the grant would fund a small chunk of a larger, previously approved vision plan and that the work would take place over the next 12 months.
The committee did not specify the exact line-item accounting for the $5,000 in the meeting record; the staff member said the funds would be used to support tasks identified in earlier planning documents and supervised by existing township committees. The committee’s approval gives staff permission to submit the application and pursue the grant if awarded.
