Funding Floods and Pipes in NJ's 7th District | Jersey News
Description
Federal funds totaling over $17 million are headed to New Jersey’s 7th Congressional District, with $3 million specifically targeting flood mitigation along the Passaic River to ease recurring flooding in Berkeley Heights and Chatham. The package also includes critical infrastructure upgrades — replacing asbestos water mains in Mine Hill and tackling lead pipes in Sparta — essential for public health and safety. These grants relieve local taxpayers by funding vital projects like new law enforcement tech, fire department upgrades, and downtown revitalization in Somerville. While still pending House approval, the investments aim to strengthen safety, infrastructure, and community resilience across Sussex to Union counties.
