Dunellen Borough Of

Dunellen Borough Of, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in Dunellen, New Jersey, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants for local infrastructure, environmental, and transportation safety projects. The borough does not compete for federal contracts and operates exclusively as a grant recipient under community development and infrastructure programs.

Dunellen Borough Of has received three federal grants totaling $695 thousand across three distinct agencies since July 2023. The Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration funded a $436,800 Project Grant under the Safe Streets and Roads for All program (CFDA 20.939) awarded November 14, 2024, with ultimate completion scheduled for December 31, 2026. That award supports development of a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan and associated planning, design, and implementation activities to prevent roadway fatalities and serious injuries in Dunellen. The Department of Housing and Urban Development's Assistant Secretary for Community Planning and Development issued a Project Grant on August 13, 2024, under an Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding vehicle with an ultimate completion date of August 31, 2032; the specific project scope was not finalized at the time of award and is contingent on the borough's subsequent project narrative submission. The Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service Region 5 awarded a Cooperative Agreement dated July 15, 2023, with completion scheduled for December 31, 2024, funding the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a Bandalong Bandit litter trap system for the Green Brook site at Jefferson Avenue in Dunellen to reduce aquatic plastics and microplastics in the Raritan Watershed.

Activity shows two awards in 2024 following one award in 2023. One award (the Fish and Wildlife Service Cooperative Agreement) faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. All three grants are prime awards; the borough has not engaged as a sub-recipient on any federal grant work in the source data. The borough's award portfolio is concentrated in community infrastructure and local resilience projects, with no federal contract prime awardees or contract vehicle seats.
