Senator Declan O’Scanlon’s (R-13) bill to appropriate the inaugural funding round for the new CHAMP program was signed into law by Governor Murphy.
“Residents across New Jersey are consistently burdened by flood risk but with this new law, we can begin mitigating these risks by proactively addressing much needed infrastructure improvements,” said Sen. O’Scanlon. “Now, New Jerseyans can breathe easy knowing help is on the way.”
S-3471 authorizes the New Jersey Infrastructure Bank (NJIB) to allocate funds specifically for hazard mitigation and resilience projects under the Community Hazard Assistance Mitigation Program (CHAMP) for Fiscal Year 2025.
These loans will finance construction costs for six designated projects aimed at mitigating community hazards and enhancing resilience against natural disasters. Here is a summary of the projects:
McGovern Park Resilience (Jersey City)
Southwest Park Expansion (Hoboken City)
Elevations (Stafford Township)
Flood Mitigation of Joint Meeting Pump Station (Bergen County Utilities Authority)
Reconstruction of Sanitary Sewer Pump Station (Rochelle Park Township)
Nolan Road Streambank Stabilization (Marlboro Township)
