Above is the $600,000 contribution received from the Rt. 73 redeveloper. The Borough also received a grant from the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs for the new artificial turf field in the amount of $100,000 for a grand total of $700,000 in funding!

The new field will be installed this summer at a cost of just about $400,000, however. The balance of the funds, approximately $300,000, will be used for youth athletic programs and recreational facilities.

Pretty sharp looking!
