Big news out of Highland Park, New Jersey! 📢
The Borough recently announced that South Third Avenue Public Plaza, now known as "Borough Square," was awarded a $1.5 million grant from the Middlesex County Open Space, Recreation, and Farmland and Historic Preservation Trust Fund. 💰 The funding will support the creation of a permanent, pedestrian-oriented community space designed for events, cultural programming, informal recreation, and the future home of the Highland Park Farmers Market. 👩🌾
