Clark Awarded $50K For Road Improvements

CLARK/GARWOOD, NJ — Clark and Garwood collectively received $85,000 from the Union County Freeholders Infrastructure Grant program.

The program will fund various projects throughout the county, including: parks, sewage drainage, road resurfacing and signage.

Clark received $50,000 for roadway improvements. Garwood received $35,000 for curb, sidewalk, and tree repairs at various locations, and to clean and television inspection of sanitary sewers.

"Infrastructure is a priority and our municipalities must continue to be able to make essential
improvements. These grants allow our residents to directly benefit from improvements made to
their local communities," added Freeholder Christopher Hudak, who came up with the program in 2015.

In total about $1.5 million was awarded to Union County’s 21 municipalities. Funding for the grant came from the proceeds from the sale of Runnells Specialized Hospital in 2014.
