Washington Township Wins Grant For Memorial Field Work

Officials will apply for another grant for more work on the field.

Bergen County has approved a request for funding for work at Washington Township's Memorial Field facility. 

The town applied for a $32,000 Open Space Fund matching grant for work on the open-air pavilion last year, which was recently approved, according to Mayor Janet Sobkowicz. The money will be used to repair the roof of the structure and buy new benches and other items. 

"It could use a little work," Sobkowicz said. "A lot of people use it." 

Officials are now planning to apply for another Open Space grant, this time for a new fence around the field and pavilion area. 

"It needs to be replaced," Sobkowicz said.

The fund is used to supplement municipal open space and recreation facilities across the county.
