South River to apply for roughly $300,000 in Middlesex County CDBG funds for repaving, curb ramps and sidewalks
Summary
Council authorized submission of a 2026 Community Development Block Grant proposal totaling approximately $300,000: $100,000 for repaving in target areas, $100,000 for curb ramp improvements with flashing crosswalk lights, and $100,000 for pedestrian sidewalks and guiderail improvements on Lower Hillside Avenue.
Resolution 2026-96 approved submission of the borough’s 2026 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) proposal to the Middlesex County Public Housing Agency. The Citizens Advisory Committee recommended allocating approximately $300,000 across three projects: $100,000 for repaving roads in target areas, $100,000 for curb-ramp and flashing-crosswalk improvements, and $100,000 for sidewalks and guiderail work along Lower Hillside Avenue near an apartment complex.
The resolution directs the borough engineer and appropriate officials to prepare and submit the proposals to Middlesex County. If funded, the work would be targeted to federally defined 'Target Areas' and administered through the county program.
