REQUESTS FOR STREET TREES NOW BEING TAKEN

RAHWAY – Union County recently completed the planting of 100 new trees throughout Rahway under Union County’s “Greening Union County” program.  This furthers Mayor Kennedy’s commitment to add to the city’s inventory of shade trees.  The county provided 50 percent of the cost of purchasing and planting the trees.  Since the program is expected to continue this year, residents should contact the Department of Public Works at (732) 827-2060 if they would like a shade tree planted in front of their property.

Weather permitting, the street trees should be plated in the fall.
