S 1786 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes "Municipal Community Center Grant Program."

S 1786 establishes a state grant program to fund the construction of new community centers in New Jersey municipalities. The program prioritizes towns lacking or underserved by existing centers relative to population, with the Department of Community Affairs administering applications and awarding funds. It requires the state to annually request at least $10 million for the program (plus 2% for administration) and seek additional federal, state, local, or private funding. Grants may only be used for building new centers, defined as facilities for recreation, meetings, or classes, such as indoor halls, fields, or classrooms.
