Perth Amboy Selected for TNJ TA Grant

PERTH AMBOY SELECTED FOR TOGETHER NORTH JERSEY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Township of Belleville will develop a strategic marketing plan for its Washington Avenue Commercial District and the City of Perth Amboy will create a vision plan for Fink Park, an underutilized pocket park.

The two projects will receive free technical assistance thanks to grants from the Together North Jersey Vibrant Places Program. The program is a partnership between the NJTPA and the Vorhees Transportation Center at Rutgers University. The NJTPA funds the competitive grant program. This year, the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs will also be providing expertise and resources to the program through its Local Planning Services/Main Street New Jersey team.

A vision plan will be created to reimaging Fink Park, a small park in the city’s Smith Street commercial district. This effort will include researching best practices, public and stakeholder engagement and a market analysis, which will be used to identify goals, opportunities and recommended design and programming for the park.
