“Community Project Funding requests are an important way to send much needed federal dollars back home to New Jersey,” said Congressman Kean. “From supporting our police to improving aging infrastructure, I am excited to share the 15 community projects selected for consideration in the FY2025 appropriations process. I will continue to fight in Congress to get this funding across the finish line, so we can improve lives in the Garden State.”

I was in Raritan Borough to award $2.275 Million in Community Project Funding for the refurbishment of the Raritan Police Department. From enhancing infrastructure to improving public safety and more, this federal grant will make great strides in addressing the unique needs of Raritan Borough, and make a real difference in people’s lives.

“From the very beginning, I have advocated for the cancellation of congestion pricing, a program that is deeply flawed, unfair, and is just a money-grab on New Jerseyans,” said Congressman Kean. “I have made it a priority of mine in Congress to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to put a stop to the congestion pricing program that was set to begin this month. I am glad to hear that Governor Hochul has postponed this program, but the fight is not over. ‘Indefinitely postponed’ is not enough. I will continue to work in Congress until there is a permanent cancellation of congestion pricing.”

“The Fire Grants and Safety Act, which I drafted and introduced, was signed into law by President Biden today,” said Congressman Kean. “This bill will provide firefighters, as well as the communities they serve, the protection they both need. As a former volunteer firefighter and EMT, I know that we cannot play political games with the needs of our first responders. We did not let DC gridlock slow us down. The Fire Grants and Safety Act passed the House with a 92% vote and with 88% in the Senate. We worked across the aisle and found common ground. We delivered big results that will change lives for the better.”
