$500,000 INVESTMENT IN PUBLIC SAFETY
The Town of Phillipsburg is excited to share that Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. has secured $500,000 in federal Community Project Funding for the Phillipsburg Police Department!
This significant investment will help the Department enhance and expand critical technology, including camera systems, automatic license plate readers, the drone program, and training technology—giving our officers additional tools to prevent and solve crimes, improve situational awareness, and better serve our community.
Most importantly, this funding allows Phillipsburg to make important public safety improvements without placing the entire financial burden on our local taxpayers.
Thank you to Congressman Kean for his continued support of the Phillipsburg Police Department and our community!
What a great week for Phillipsburg!
In just one week, we are celebrating $3.2 MILLION in funding for our community:
$2.4 million for Delaware River Park improvements
$500,000 for Phillipsburg Police Department technology and public safety
$300,000 to strengthen and revitalize Phillipsburg’s UEZ program
That’s $3.2 MILLION being invested in Phillipsburg’s parks, public safety, local businesses, events, tourism, and future.
There is a lot to be excited about in Phillipsburg—and we’re just getting started!
