KEANSBURG MAYOR AND BOROUGH COUNCIL SECURE $1 MILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT BOROUGH

KEANSBURG, NJ – Mayor George Hoff is pleased to announce that $1 million has been allocated in the federal budget for critical infrastructure improvements in Keansburg, including enhancing pedestrian access, reconstructing roadways, and fortifying drainage systems throughout the borough. This significant investment is the first federal grant to address drainage improvements within the Borough of Keansburg in over 30 years, and will reduce flooding on numerous streets while saving single family homes approximately $350 on their tax bills.

“This $1 million grant is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the Keansburg Borough Council who worked tirelessly over the past year to convey the pressing need for infrastructure improvements in Keansburg,” said Mayor Hoff. “This funding not only ensures the safety and accessibility of our borough but also plays a pivotal role in keeping taxes low for our residents. I want to extend my deepest appreciation to Congressman Pallone for securing the funding and also for always being there for the residents of Keansburg.”

The funding announcement comes on the heels of Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr.’s recent disclosure that he has secured $16,383,535 in funding for thirteen projects in New Jersey’s Sixth Congressional District. These projects, included in the federal spending bill for Fiscal Year 2024 and passed in the House of Representatives, are poised to rebuild and repair infrastructure, support low-emission public transit, facilitate lead pipe removal, and bolster coastal resiliency. The Senate is expected to pass the bill, sending it to President Biden’s desk for final approval.
