BERKELEY
The township will receive a $130,593 Clean Communities Grant from the state, Mayor Carmen F. Amato Jr. said. A portion of the grant will offset salaries of employees that clean and maintain the township’s parks and beaches, and will fund mini-grants to local non-profit civic and community groups that take advantage of Berkeley’s “Adopt a Spot,” or “Adopt a Road program.”
Community groups can receive a $500 grant for their organization if they sign up for either program, Amato said. Nonprofit organizations in Berkeley that want to participate in the program, should call Township Clean Communities Coordinator, Mark Vanella at 732-341-1022.
