The Economic Development Administration awarded a $5.5 million Project Grant to the Borough of Paulsboro, New Jersey on April 12, 2022 under the Investments for Public Works and Economic Development Facilities program (CFDA 11.300). The funding will support expanding the treatment capacity of the Paulsboro Water Treatment Plant by 1,000 gallons per minute, bringing the total capacity to 2,500 gallons per minute. This increased capacity will allow the borough to fully utilize its water allocation from three wells to support commercial and industrial development. The project also includes constructing a new 6,000 square foot building to house the upgraded water treatment system. The expanded infrastructure aims to serve a new manufacturing facility producing steel monopiles for offshore wind turbines serving the entire U.S. offshore wind industry. The project is expected to stimulate business and job growth in the region.
