West Long Branch Shade Tree Commission moves to apply for community grant to fund five‑year plan
Summary
The Shade Tree Commission agreed to pursue a state community grant to support its five-year plan and formed a working group to convert and complete the application with help from its forestry consultant and borough financial staff.
The West Long Branch Shade Tree Commission voted to pursue a community grant to finance elements of its five‑year plan, with forestry consultant William Brash assisting the application process. Ellen Whitford, chairperson, located the state application form and forwarded it to Gloria for review; the form contains financial codes and technical details that will require input from borough officials.
To speed completion, commissioners will form a working group to convert the online form into a Word document, divide tasks, and collect the required financial and narrative information. The group plans to consult Jason Gonter, the borough CFO, and the Mayor before entering final data into the online application system and may seek clarification from state staff if questions persist.
