Bruno Associates Secures $362,500 for North Arlington Borough’s River Road Acquisition

Funded by the NJ Department of Environmental Protection

Summer 2015—Bruno Associates requested funding from the NJDEP Green Acres Program and was awarded $362,500 in grants for North Arlington Borough’s River Road acquisition. The Green Acres Program administers funds to local governments and nonprofit land trusts to obtain open space and develop parks throughout the state. These projects that are approved by the Garden State Preservation Trust (GSPT) sets aside millions to provide funds for developing parks and recreational facilities, local land acquisition projects, preserving land and protecting the environment along with its wildlife. The Borough of North Arlington seeks to use its awarded funds for the River Road Acquisition project which will acquire land next to its Little League field. With this land it will allow for additional parking lots to be built, creating safer environments for people visiting the park and not needing to park on the busy intersection of River Road.
