- Meeting Overview:
Patterson, NJ has been awarded its largest-ever Clean Communities grant, a significant increase from the previous year’s funding, aimed at enhancing the city’s anti-litter initiatives and combating illegal dumping. The grant, totaling $283,000, marks a considerable boost from the $26,000 received in the prior year, as announced during a city council meeting.
In addition to anti-litter campaigns, the grant will fund the installation of cameras to deter and address the issue of illegal dumping, a challenge faced by many urban areas. A portion of the grant will also be allocated to new initiatives, including the acquisition of a graffiti removal truck and efforts to manage stormwater more effectively.
The meeting featured a representative from the New Jersey Clean Communities Council, who praised Patterson’s efforts and announced a state-wide tagline contest to further promote community involvement in keeping New Jersey clean.
