October 14, 2020 Committee Meeting Notes

Several items from the Committee meeting deserve posting here.

• Halloween: It was decided that Halloween should be celebrated without additional "forced" restrictions. The guidance from the NJ Department of Health [Click Here] should be followed, and parents and Trick-or-Treaters should use common sense and follow established Safety Rules. For Consistency and participant safety, we will also follow the 8:00pm Curfew of our neighboring towns.


• NJDOT has announced the FY2020 Local Freight Impact Fund Grant Recipients. South Harrison was successful in being awarded $1,500,000.00 towards this project. We apply for NJDOT Municipal Aid program grants every year, and you can see the results in the our recently re-paved sections of Lincoln Road.
