Council approves grant submission for assessment of former DPW site
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2026-219 to submit a grant application to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for a preliminary assessment of the former DPW site. Some council members said they were disappointed at late notice; others called the testing a sensible first step.
The Borough Council approved Resolution 2026-219 to authorize submission of a preliminary-assessment grant to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection for the former DPW site. The resolution will allow the borough to obtain environmental testing and a preliminary report that can clarify cleanup and funding options.
One council member stated she was "very disappointed to learn of this grant for the remediation of the old DPW site at such a late date this weekend" and said she had repeatedly pushed for cleanup and reuse work on the parcel. Other members and staff described the grant as a prudent first step that will help the borough determine eligibility for larger remediation or reuse grants. The motion to approve the grant submission passed on roll-call vote.
