CRANBURY — The township will receive a $180,000 state grant to be used to resurface sidewalks, the Township Committee announced Monday.
Cranbury applies for the state Department of Transportation’s Municipal Aid Program every year and usually receives the grant every other year, said Christine Smeltzer, township administrator.
The township plans to add six concrete handicap ramps and flushed curbing to Wynnewood and Woodview drives with these funds, Ms. Smeltzer said.
