The Murphy administration has announced $150 million in fiscal year 2025 municipal aid grants, with 540 cities and towns across the state receiving funds to advance road, bridge, safety and quality-of-life improvements.

Cape May County was allotted $2.48 million, which was divided among all of its towns. The grants were all for roadway preservation projects with the exception of Middle Township, whose grant was for a pedestrian safety project.

The grants ranged from a low of $110,733 for Cape May City to a high of $205,736 for Wildwood.

The competitive municipal aid grant program attracted 595 applications from 540 municipalities, with a total of $375 million requested. Project applications were evaluated by Department of Transportation staff and reviewed by an independent panel of New Jersey municipal engineers. Every municipality that applied for funding received a grant.

Under the grant program, each county is apportioned a share of the total funding based on population and the number of local centerline miles. Municipalities compete for portions of their county’s share.
