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.
