Quick context to catch up fast.
Madison received a $2,000 Sustainable Jersey grant to partially fund a native shrub swap for 15 residents, with up to five shrubs offered per home. The committee also reported progress on electric landscaping equipment and an EV shuttle bus grant, though the bus still needs a completed grant agreement and an overnight storage and charging plan.

Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The shrub swap is expected to help residents add native plants to their properties, although the meeting did not provide an application date or participation details. Borough staff are using electric landscaping equipment, but found the backpack batteries heavy and the blowers unsuitable for heavy fall leaf clearing. The planned EV shuttle bus remains in development while grant paperwork and a charging location are resolved.
