STREET REPAIR GRANTS

Is it possible that any of Plainfield's streets could potentially qualify? If there is any chance application should be made immediately without any regard for present repair time plans. Did we apply under LAIF? if so what happened?

Today in Trenton, Governor Christie announced the availability of $7.5 million in Local Aid Infrastructure funding to help cover up to $30 million in repairs to local roads and bridges damaged by Hurricane Irene. The $7.5 million will be used to cover county and municipal matches of Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grants that require a 25% local contribution.

Project funding will be administered in the same manner as Local Aid Infrastructure (
LAIF) grants with municipalities and counties requesting grants for specific projects through the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). Applications for aid will be accepted immediately. Applicants should follow normal procedures and file a NJDOT form SA - 96 to request a grant.
