East Windsor Receives Additional Green Acre Funding

East Windsor was recently awarded a $300,000 Green Acres Grant from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the Garden State Preservation Trust. The Township is now working towards using the money to acquire a 25 acre parcel on the south side of Airport Road just west of the of the former East Windsor Speedway site. Along with a neighboring 13.48 acres on Airport Road being donated by the developer of the speedway site, the total open space project is almost 39 acres. The Township also is considering the purchase of an approximately 42.97 acre property on Etra Road. This property is in a rural area of the Township where almost 1,000 acres of farmland have already been preserved through the State Farmland Preservation Program.
