Gov. Phil Murphy announced Thursday the distribution of $161.25 million in Municipal Aid grants to 543 cities and towns across the state to advance road, bridge, safety and quality-of-life improvements.
While the average grant was approximately $300,000, a number of municipalities received far more than that. Twenty-eight cities received at least $600,000, with five topping $1 million.
