CRANBURY: Turnpike money marked for trees on Hagerty tract

[Guest]

CRANBURY — The Cranbury New Jersey Turnpike Tree Subcommittee will deliver its report to the state tomorrow.

The report will explain how the township plans to use the $766,703 granted by the state for the purchasing, planting and maintenance of trees.

The state has granted money for the replacement of the trees it tore down in the widening of the turnpike. Originally, the state planned to grant Cranbury the money for 9,000 trees over three phases, but, thus far, the state only has guaranteed the $766,703, which is only enough for 2,556 trees.

The subcommittee plans to place all 2,556 trees on the 14-acre Hagerty property on Old Cranbury Road.
